Survey #296—Full Response from Anita

← Go back

April 11, 2026

PronounsShe/her
Describe a paradox, conundrum, or mental trap in which you find yourself as you work to declutter and organize your space.All 3 of those.
Or whenever you choose to get rid of something, someone says they like or need it.
What’s the most reliable method for getting unstuck when you find yourself trapped in a clutter conundrum?I’ve started a four box system: a box for each of my (grown up) daughters and one for my husband and one for me. Then I only have to face my own clutter. Theirs becomes tidier as it is contained.. although the next stage has still to happen.
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.I’m still a bit stuck on getting stuff actually out of the house; e.g a bread maker and an old printer ( neither work well). They can’t be thrown in our bin( council rules) The recycling centre is now only open twice a week ( when I’m working) ( and nobody else can take them) I could get the council to collect but it is very expensive. The scrap collectors only take metal… I did get them to take a couple of bikes though .. which was good.
Even our local charity shop has gone!
Future topics

I think I’m improving with your help and suggestions; so I can’t think of anything just now I’ll just keep listening and enjoying the show thank you both.
