Survey #158 Response from Em
| Which of the following statements describe the help you’ve received in managing your organizing projects? (Check all that apply or have applied in the past.) |
|
|---|---|
| Where do you shop for organizing products? (Check all that apply.) |
|
| If you selected “Other” above, please elaborate: | I have never shopped for organizing products. I use recycled items or discards from others. |
| Describe an organizing product, resource, book, video, or other solution that you bought but never used—at least not for the purpose for which you purchased it. | Can't think of any. |
| For which collections or categories of stuff do you find it difficult to obtain or employ organizing and storage solutions, and why? | Books, because used bookshelves command high prices, even at garage sales. Canned goods and pantry items, because apartment is not designed for people who cook. Need racks that would allow cans to be fed from the top and taken from the bottom. Computer stuff, because there are so many components that involve cords and they are not used at the same time. Parts that are not in current use are in plastic bags (so that they do not tangle) inside boxes, but accessing them requires much more work than keeping them in a shallow drawer would. |
| What’s your personal favorite inexpensive or free organizing solution? We’d love to hear about furniture, shipping boxes, food containers, craft supplies, or other unlikely items that you’ve ingeniously repurposed to hold your stuff. | I made an artful arrangement of my handbags near my bedroom door by using tiny nails. It is so handy that I did something similar in my kitchen with certain good-looking ironware and utensils beside the area where they are used. Continuing with the idea, there are about 6 utensils I always need beside the refrigerator, so I have them in an artful display on the side of the refrigerator, using magnets. I also put my antique glassware, china, silver pieces, tin, and wooden items to work as storage containers for everything from rubber bands and batteries to cosmetics and candy. |
| 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. | Have people confessed to you after a decluttering how their lives were changed? It seems to me that, for the decluttering to last, they would have a mental and/or emotional shift. Can you inspire with us any stories these people shared with you about a shift? Also, is there a way to get the paper organizing booklet after already being on the mailing list? |
| Future topics | Explore the emotional shifts that go with decluttering. One aspect would be self love/self respect.... what else? |
