| 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 children say no to a lot of things! |
|---|---|
| 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. I clean out even half a shelf and it's an opportunity for him to store something else he had lying around. |
| 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.”) | Another easy one: MY HUSBAND! I would love to have "breathing room" in cupboards and closets for instance. My (still very nice) husband never looks behind what's placed in front anyway and goes out to buy things that were pushed away to the back of any storage space. That includes the fridge. We don't need to fill out every square inch. |
| 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.”) | Three large plastic containers of china that were never used by the previous generation and that will never see the light of day either in our house. A prime example of a deferred decision. |
| 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. | Did Gayle ever got call from clients who regretted decluttering decisions? What would you tell them? |
