Survey #296—Full Response from C

March 7, 2026

PronounsShe/her
What useful decluttering or organizing strategies or methods did you take away from the book?Allocate enough time to put things back when done.
What parts or aspects of the book did you find difficult to grasp or challenging to apply to your home or situation?Challenging at the moment is finding the best place for certain items. Because I avoid changing things for my husband. He doesn't do well when I do that, even if he agrees it would be more logical.
Wolf's “Rule for Purging” is that you must either use an item or “superduperlove” it. How does this differ from other decluttering methods you’ve tried, and does it make it easier or harder to purge stuff?Haven't tried her program, though much makes a lot of sense.
Yet, I'm glad I saved some things for a bit longer than I needed them; these are now being used and appreciated by others.
Wolf introduces the idea of a Triangle of Productivity—relying heavily on the combination of your email, calendar, and to-do list to manage your tasks and responsibilities.I have a general to do list on my phone, I also have a family calender, and i sometimes send myself emails as reminders, esp if I'm away from my desk.
I need to set up an electronic based shopping list to which I can add to, but also my husband can see if he forgets paper list. Until now I've photographed list and sent it via WhatsApp. But an ongoing list would be better.
