Survey #288—Full Response from C
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| What did you learn about yourself or your stuff through your decluttering and organizing process in 2025? | I learned that although I buy ( a lot ) less, and am continually donating things, I still have too much stuff I don't * really * have a use for, I need to move faster on my decluttering, donate more as my mobility decreases. |
| What new decluttering or organizing ideas, methods, or techniques proved helpful in 2025? Were there any game-changers? | Not really new ideas, but re-visited and reconsidered ideas: I cannot continue to "save for Justin". There's only so much of something I will need in the next 2 decades of creative endeavors, as in some crafts will never get done= material can go. Some clothes I will never wear again, even when/if I lose weight. Past two years: whenever I leave a room I do a quick scan to see what has to go out of room or what can be put away quickly. There is a even bigger and growing need to continue to keep all paths clear, at all times. Safety first. |
| 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)? | A large number of donations to various places and people of items they needed wanted, brought in money for good causes. |
| 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 get our former DD's room which is now a semi-organized storage room ( we have no basement or attic) useful again to be able to use it as a meditation/ rest and guest room for us. Moving the single bed from study to there. I have to de-tetris some boxes in closets to fit things now in that room into the closets. I want to finish 3 of my UFO crafts. Papers: started well last February, fizzled out in September. New year= rinse/ repeat? |

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. | Why do so many of us have trouble with paper clutter? Are there really no simple systems that would help most of us? I see so many websites all about paper clutter management systems . Will you be having any guests on? |
| Future topics | The influence of TV , Films Pinterest etc on us and why we struggle with how our homes should look. |
