Survey #279—Full Response from Anonymous user
| During what period of your adult life was your home the least cluttered? Can you identify anything you did differently then (versus now) that helped keep the space tidy? | Agree completely |
|---|---|
| What lessons could you learn from your former way of managing your space that might help with your current way of dealing with clutter? | 1. Not to be too sentimental. 2. Declutter something daily, even a small drawer, pile of papers or tabletop. 3. Get things out as soon as it’s a reasonable amount to deliver. 4. Ask myself: if you were moving, is it likely you’d have room or need for this? 5. Why do you need this? 6. Ask myself: looks like this hasn’t been used in 20 years. What makes you think you’ll need it in the next 10? |
| When you travel, do you prefer to unpack your bags completely in the hotel room or to live out of them so that nothing gets misplaced? What do you consider the pros and cons of either approach? | Live out of them other than toiletries and hanging clothing due to bedbug concerns |
| Please select whichever of the following statements best describes your current wardrobe: | I wear a relatively small number of items of clothing on a regular basis but also possess many items of clothing that I don’t wear much. |
| 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. | What do you do when you know you should declutter more but don’t have the energy or ambition to start? |
