Survey #184 Response from Gabriella
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe an item or collection that you’re rationally prepared to release, but something always seems to keep you from making the final decision to let it go. | I have kept 2 small musical boxes from my early childhood. I have recently gone through my sentimental items and was able to let go of a lot of them. These musical boxes I decided to keep for the time being, although I have no use for them - and I don't even gain extraordinary joy from them. |
| How do you feel when you think about letting go of the item you described in your answer to the previous question? | These items are connected to my memories as a toddler. I feel that letting go of them would amount to parting with something I would not be able to replace. I remember that, as a toddler, these items were there, I didn't mind them, but even then I was not overenthusiastic about them either. |
| Complete the following statement: “I know I won’t keep this item forever, so I would like ___.” | “…to get some money for it.” I don't think there is a big chance to get some money for them. Nevertheless, they may turn out to be a rarity. There is a collectors' market for antique toys in Germany. |
| Fill in the blank: “Watching and listening to The Clutter Fairy Weekly makes me want to try ___.” | ... living with less. |
| Name one or more of your favorite Clutter Fairy-isms (e.g., “thin the herd”) or decluttering and organizing mnemonic devices (e.g., OHIO—Only Handle It Once). | "scrambelize" (apart from that, I come to love the Texan accent:o) |
| 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). | How many woman/man hours per week do you spend on the weekly episodes? |
| Future topics | If possible, I'd love it if you could do an episode on intercultural differences in attitudes and behavior related to clutter, consumption, shopping, etc. |
