Survey #175 Response from Anonymous user
| Think about a decluttering project of any size that you’ve completed in the past. (The project may be as little as one section of cabinet, a drawer, or a small set of objects.) How successful have you been at maintaining the space or collection in the finished state? | Somewhat successful |
|---|---|
| For the project you thought about in the previous question, what habits, attitudes, events, people, or other factors contribute to your tendency to re-clutter the space? (For example, “I’m a habitual shopper” or “My family doesn’t respect my organizing efforts” or “The mail just keeps coming!”) | Stuff just keeps appearing in the drawer so every so often I go through the drawer and remove what doesn't belong or what is no longer needed. |
| What habits, mindsets, practices, or other factors contribute to your ability to successfully maintain a previously cluttered space? (For example, “I reset my dining room after each meal” or “I’ve set a limit of five decorative items in each room” or “I use the ‘after’ photo I took as motivation to keep my bathroom shelves organized.”) | I think to myself a phrase I read,:"Do something your future self will be thankful for," and it often gives me the motivation needed to do something I don't want to do like tidying up an area. |
| Fill in the blank: “When I finish my current decluttering/organizing project, I’m going to treat myself to ___.” | moving |
| 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. | You once asked how we're connected with you, or something like that. At the time, I just received emails from you because I didn't have Facebook, a YouTube account, or any of the other ways listed. That made me think how selfish that was. It spurred me on to finally figure out how to subscribe to your YouTube channel (after several unsuccessful attempts to set up an account). Now I can give back a little by being a subscriber to The Clutter Fairy YouTube channel and to "like" all your videos. You've given me so much for several years from your videos! Thank you! |
