Survey #270—Full Response from Katherine
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe ways in which clutter has interfered with your ability to carry out or enjoy creative projects and activities. | Creative-project ideas pile up faster than I can get to them, especially where subscriptions and/or recommendations are involved. (FOMO is a big issue.) My brain and schedule get cluttered, too. (Right now, I am trying to coexist with a family member's health challenges that were inconsiderate enough to spring up when I was already 90% burnt out from living on a disorganized-priorities plateau.) |
| 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 hate doing "chores." I just want to get to the interesting stuff and finish it quickly. (Trouble savoring the actual doing is another issue.) |
| 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. | My energy levels (especially mental energy) are pretty low these days: anything that needs decluttering is "one more task on an impossible list." |
| Describe the key features of your ideal creative workspace. | Since most of my creativity falls into the "writing" category, I would include a room (or at least one section of a room) with a computer, comfortable seating, good lighting, computer files well-organized so everything is easy to find, and a few shelves for notebooks. And all unnecessary materials removed from the area (*less* storage space might help there). |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Where do I find a professional life-SCHEDULE organizer (i.e., life coach)? |
