Survey #270—Full Response from Tracy

← Go back

August 30, 2025

PronounsShe/her
Describe ways in which clutter has interfered with your ability to carry out or enjoy creative projects and activities.I SIMPLY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING!!
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.I successfully use a tip from Norrine Burke of The Crafty Organizer. It resembles the common file system (the kind you drop a folder into a box or file cabinet, fom above). You use regular plastic storage bages that you've stiffened up by adding a scrap if card stock, the size of your baggie. (i use thick junk mail & Amazon boxes). This allows the baggies to stand upright. Fill the bag with loose odd shaped items, or flat work like paper products. Drop them vertically into your "file box". I find this method easy, as I can just thumb through the box, front to back. The clear baggies come in all sizes & the contents are always easy to see.
Describe the key features of your ideal creative workspace.#3 All the way, but modified.. A small bedroom AREA
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.It seems Gayle you do a lot of physical labor, when your hired to help a client in their home. No disrespect, I'm curious why your video appointments carry the same fee? Tho I know nothing about the process, I still boldly mention; in my mind less demanding work would warrant a different price point.
Let me add with vigger, I adore you both. You have brought me knowledge, kept me company, set me straight many times lol, doing so under a shroud of non condemning warmth & joy. I thank you.
Future topics

I'd love to see a space we could, make suggestions, or comments on previous "Weekly" topics. I found you on Audible & started listening from your 1st episode, which are all relevant 2day! Perhaps in this space it would look like this... In Weekly # 22 organizing the kitchen, I find it best to have my cabinets arranged in this manner- Using only 1 hand (the other hand is full of items to go in another room). After opening the cabinet doors... I can grab clean dishes from the strainer & easily stack them inside without the need to move anything around. Off to the next task
