Survey #209 Response from Janet
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Name up to three clutter problem areas in your home. These may be physical spaces, categories of stuff, or collections of items that you usually or chronically find difficult to get clear—or keep clear—of clutter. | I struggle mostly with old stuff. I have my parents wedding album. I have some old professional pics of old relatives. I thought of making a family tree & attaching the pics, but technology changes so quickly for a job that big! That’s my stuck spot |
| For any of the problem areas you identified in your answer to the previous question, list factors that contribute to your difficulty decluttering in these areas. | They are not replaceable once disposed of. I have one son and he’s not interested in anything. But that might change if he meets someone. |
| Name up to three clutter “sweet spots” in your home. These may be physical spaces, categories of stuff, or collections of items that you usually find relatively easy to keep decluttered and organized. | My kitchen is much easier now that I have less. The same with my clothes (although I just bought two more pairs of jeans…ugh). My Jean drawer is kinda snug but with jeans 2 lbs make them fit too tight or too loose. The bathroom is easy to keep decluttered but I still don’t enjoy cleaning it. |
| For any of the “sweet spots” you identified in your answer to the previous question, list factors that contribute to your ease in (or even enjoyment of) maintaining these areas. | My kitchen counters stay clean bc I read the mail & dispose of junk & file bills in yo be paid. I clean up after cooking. It’s nice to see a clean counter. As I walk through my place I’m always thinking what else can I get rid of. I dont have too much left. Except 8 totes of photo albums & one box of photos. 😩 |
| What’s an item or category of stuff that you feel as if you could never get too much of? | Probably shoes. My mom would say underwear. She used to tease me saying I can open a store. I’ve gotten better - but I also used to have over 100 pairs of shoes. If I had the space I would have shoes in every color & heel height. |
| 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). | I really want to get rid of the 8 large totes of photo albums. I would prefer not having to scan them myself. The places I called scan one photo at a time, not photos on a page. I may have to buy a scanner & do it it in my spare time - now there’s something I can use more of … lol |
| Future topics | Regarding emails I’ve heard to unsubscribe… but I’m wondering if that just makes more emails. Because I certainly don’t remember signing up for all these. |
