Survey #209 Response from Barbara
| 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. | Island, bath counter, back door hall |
| 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. | Island- Difficulty categorizing receipts and mail for action so it piles up. Back door is a mixture of items going to car, garbage can or garage placement. Need to organize garage. The items linger and pile up until I can't get by them. Bath- alot of different body care items and my delay in putting it away. |
| 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. | Bath tub and shower. I keep it clean always. Front Porch. Very little to deal with. Drawers. I keep kitchen, bath, desk and craft room drawers neat. Even my tool chest is fairly organized. I never realized. I'm proud of myself. |
| 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. | Drawers have specific tools that do not "grow" out of control. I rarely add to them. I use contents frequently. They have organized, specific "homes". (I'm learning about myself) |
| What’s an item or category of stuff that you feel as if you could never get too much of? | Clothes. Fighting appearance of aging. Keeping up appearances so as not to be seen as elderly, weak or an easy victim. |
| 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'd like feedback on how those retired organize their day. Each day for me is different according to priorities. I'm more of a reactionist than a proactive personality. |
