Survey #288—Full Response from Maxibee
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| What did you learn about yourself or your stuff through your decluttering and organizing process in 2025? | I learned that I'm more realistic at 61 than I was at 50...or even 55. I am able to admit to myself that I'm not ever going to use certain items I was saving for later. I'm less sentimental and more practical. |
| What new decluttering or organizing ideas, methods, or techniques proved helpful in 2025? Were there any game-changers? | I'm a die-hard follower of Dana K. White's No Mess decluttering method, but listening to The Clutter Fairy on YouTube over the past few months has challenged me to think beyond just decluttering. My age, goals and mindset are all food for thought now. |
| What did you accomplish in 2025 for which you’d like to pat yourself on the back (and enjoy the acknowledgments of The Clutter Fairy community)? | Since none of us drink coffee at home, we finally decluttered 3 coffee makers we have been housing since my mother-in-law passed away 9 years ago! (One went to a friend, one to Goodwill and the other to our RV at the lake.) Now my basket of tea making supplies lives in the cabinet below my iced tea maker.....the space formerly occupied by a very dusty coffee machine! (And the pantry has more space now that the tea basket is moved!) |
| How do you plan to apply what you learned in 2025 to your 2026 projects? What new decluttering or organizing projects would you like to take on next? | I want to take another pass through my home at a more personal level. I've decluttered the major things so now it's time to use my newfound practicality to go a step further. |
| Future topics | I can't think of any right now, but as soon as I finish the survey, I'm sure some will come to mind! |
