| 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 basement is the main dumping ground. The next area is the garden shed and lastly bookmarked items on computers. |
| 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. | The basement is the place we save our recycling and donations. Our local recycling center has very limited hours so fitting it into the schedule is not easily done especially during the cold and snowy months. The donation center is a 40 mi. round trip. I go to that town once a month but again their hours are limited and don’t often coincide with my trip. So it can be months before those items can be moved on. I tend to bookmark videos for later watching but can’t seem to remove them faster than I can save them. The garden shed hold items I am unable to lift so I have to wait for my other half to move items I cannot. |
| 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. | The main areas of the house are usually easy to keep clutter free since I am using those areas all of the time. When I notice clutter, I try to pick it up and put it where it belongs. It’s the areas less used that accumulate things. It’s much easier to ignore when the things are out of sight. |
| 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. | One big factor is that we don’t bring much in anymore unless it’s something we really need. The other main reason, I try to do a quick pick up and put away each evening. |
| What’s an item or category of stuff that you feel as if you could never get too much of? | I love books. Some are good to read once and move on but there are two categories that I will continue to accumulate, the Dune series and Star Trek books especially the classic series. |
