Survey #296—Full Response from Terry
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe a paradox, conundrum, or mental trap in which you find yourself as you work to declutter and organize your space. | I decide to donate/give things, but I keep thinking that maybe this person or that person might like to have it. For bigger things, I'm more likely to snap a photo and ask them. But for smaller things (ex. many pairs of earrings), I find it hard, I decide to donate/give things (ex. crafting materials)/beads), but I don't see the appropriate recipient people or groups in person these days. Photographing and mailing seems like too much work/expense, but I don't have a general recipient (ex. Goodwill) for those materials. |
| What’s the most reliable method for getting unstuck when you find yourself trapped in a clutter conundrum? | - try to find some Clutter Fairy wisdom in the storage area of my brain or check out a CF podcast on the topic - run it by a friend that is also decluttering to get ideas - have a talk with myself about my overall goals and where this fits in. If I recognize I'm stuck and need to break the logjam to make progress, sometimes I come up with new options. Often that lets me give myself permission to take the "good enough" option, maybe not the best, but it will allow me to move forward. |
| Future topics | I thought on a recent session on caregivers, people seemed to be looking for more info focused on dealing with aged people in their lives and clutter. (I figure since I'm now an aged person, I might be able to learn something!) |
