The White Whale
Name the hobby, craft, art form, or other recreational activity that contributes the most stuff to your living space, including raw materials, tools, equipment, other supplies, reference materials, specialized furniture, etc.
Examples:
- Knitting
- Collecting movie memorabilia
- Playing bridge

The Challenge
Reflecting on your answer to the previous question, describe the part of the activity that contributes most to the clutter in your home. Your answer may be based on volume, size, complexity, or any other factor that makes it difficult to store and manage the stuff for your activity.
Examples:
- “Bins full of knitting wool don’t leave room to do anything else.”
- “I need a storage solution for the movie posters that I don’t have room to display.”
- “My collection of books about bridge is covering every horizontal surface.”

The Cost
Reflecting on your answer to the first question, describe how the cluttered state of stuff related to this activity negatively impacts your ability to carry out or enjoy the activity.

Time Commitment
About how much time do you spend on the activity in question in an average week?

Just For Fun
What is the hobby, craft, art form, or other recreational activity that you think EVERYONE should try?
