Survey #174 Response from Marina
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Which member(s) of your household support or contribute to your decluttering or organizing efforts, and how? (For example, “My husband keeps the home office and his workshop organized.”) | My 15 year old daughter helps with organizing and decluttering decisions and is good at letting things go! |
| Which member(s) of your household frustrate, foil, interrupt, or otherwise complicate your decluttering or organizing efforts, and how? (For example, “My preteen child picks through the donation box to retrieve items even after we’ve reached agreement to get rid of them.”) | That would just be me, sometimes. But getting better at it. |
| If you were to wish for one change of behavior from someone—or everyone—in your household with respect to clutter, what change would you wish for? (For example, “My preteen child picks through the donation box to retrieve items even after we’ve reached agreement to get rid of them.”) | To have more frequent declutter sessions and to sit with me sometimes just to get started. I’m dealing with physical & emotional limitations but can really move forward whenever I have a little help. |
| Describe an item about which you have a strong disagreement with someone else in your household over whether or not it deserves a place in your home. (For example, “My mother’s 30 years of TV Guide magazines.”) | The fridge & freezer get cluttered & it bothers my daughter. |
| 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. | Hi Gayle & Ed! I can always use more tips for dealing with decluttering as a person who has some mobility challenges, low energy levels due to chronic illness, and not a lot of help. My teenage daughter is super helpful, but I can’t rely on her. Once I get started, I can get some things done, but breaking the inertia and overcoming, my own resistance and energy challenges keeps me from moving forward as quickly as I need to. We do want to move in six months to a year and there’s a lot of work to do. Thank you! |
