Survey #174 Response from Jean
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.”) | Just me! My husband will take out trash if I leave it in front of the door! |
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.”) | My husband sees no need to go through old papers, he shoves them all into boxes. It is frustrating, I have offered to sort or shred with him in small fifteen minute sessions. Not interested. |
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.”) | Sort your paper clutter! I can handle the shredding or storing. We have coupons from restaurants that no longer exist. And statements from banks that no longer exist. |
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.”) | Huge speakers with disintegrating woofers! Haven’t been usable in thirty years. Five feet tall. One lives in the living room and one takes up half of a closet. |
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. | How do you see house size changing in the next decade? |
Future topics | Love listening to all your hints. |
