Survey #209 Response from Peggy
| 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. | The worst area is the garage: keeping boxes for helping our daughter declutter, multiples of tools that hubby wants to keep, overflow from other areas due to the lack of basement or other storage space. Have removed a few things lately that makes it look a bit better. We can move around in there, it just looks cluttered. |
|---|---|
| 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. | Hubby likes to keep all the duplicate tools and kitchen gadgets. I like to keep a big pile of boxes to help our daughter declutter. |
| 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. | Our family room generally stays tidy. As a result, I'm able to put out a jigsaw puzzle on a whim. Several times, I have had a friend over to puzzle with me. Before we start, we have lunch on the puzzle table, then clear it and puzzle. So much fun! The living room stays pretty good but it's trickier because that's where the mail collects. |
| 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. | I bought a large metal tray for my husband to put all his stuff on. Tray sits on the top of our bookcase. From where I sit, I can no longer see all the stuff, much easier on my eyes! |
| What’s an item or category of stuff that you feel as if you could never get too much of? | I have a thing for cardigans and hoodies because I'm always cold. But I usually control myself because I know I already have enough. |
| 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). | What are we tripping over in our homes? What areas look tacky to us? Are we tired of any of our collections? |
