Describe ways in which clutter has interfered with your ability to carry out or enjoy creative projects and activities.Clutter has kept me from enjoying my retirement fully.

Describe ways in which the desire to declutter and organize your space has conflicted with or impaired your ability to carry out or enjoy creative projects and activities.I feel guilty when doing something fun. I fell like I should always be getting rid of my stuff.
Describe ways in which your efforts to declutter and organize your space have enhanced your ability to carry out or enjoy creative projects and activities.Making a clutter free space brings me peace and joy. I can put that puzzle together, read or color without guilt in the areas that are clutter free.
Describe the key features of your ideal creative workspace.Somethings are organized and some are not. I’m working on it.
