Survey #175 Response from Yani
| 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? | Very unsuccessful |
|---|---|
| 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!”) | I was a habitual shoppers & I swear I own everything from Michael's Art's & Craft, Dollar Store & the Baking department at any store, that Now when I visit these stores I walk out with nothing as everything they have, sadly is cluttering my home😔. |
| 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 have none!! |
| In which collections or categories of stuff are you most inclined to re-clutter—i.e., to refill areas and spaces that you’ve previously had success decluttering? (For example, “I purge my clothes closet every couple of years, but it’s always overflowing again within three months” or “My coffee mug collection is always out of control.”) | My hobbies, baking, sewing, scrapbooking are always out of control!! |
| Fill in the blank: “When I finish my current decluttering/organizing project, I’m going to treat myself to ___.” | Sit down & enjoy the clear space. |
| 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. | I feel that I have each my limit & am desperate to get rid of the majority of my items. I'm so sick & tired of dragging all this things from house to house as in the last 8 yrs I have moved 5 times & hauling all these things that I don't use are a waste of my peace of mind, space & hate the criticism as I feel very bad already about it. Gayle, what's wrong with me that I'm so attach to this things? Help!!!! |
| Future topics | How hard-core cluttered people like me, can get free of their chains -possessions holding me prisoner for years!!! |
