Survey #217 Response from Mary

← Go back

Do you consider yourself a "morning person," a "night owl," or somewhere in between?Morning person
What are the trouble spots in your daily routine or your family’s routines? In other words, where do you find your habits and routines breaking down on a regular basis?The end of the day. After dinner dishes I have to push through to get done. I make dinner and do the clean up. I want a clean kitchen in the morning.
What aspects of your home (the size, the layout, the contents, the organization of those contents, other household members, etc.) either contribute to or detract from your ability to cultivate and execute productive and useful routines?My husband does all the vacuuming which is a great help. I have a bad back and he loves his cordless Dyson. The little clutter that comes in everyday. The worst is the mail. I get at least 25 charity requests per week. I feel I must pull out anything that has my name and address on it and shred. Charities have ignored my requests to stop. It seems impossible to get this done.
What daily (or frequent) chore would you like to wave a magic Clutter Fairy wand to remove from your routine?Dusting
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). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode.How to stop all the mail charity requests. I was more generous during Covid because they were hurting. Now I give to no one and still can’t get it stopped. Why don’t charities realize if you hound a donor every few weeks makes them not want to give anymore. Requests to not sell or share your information is useless. HELP
Future topics

Difficulty getting rid of stuff animals. Most charities will not accept them.
Also, our animal shelters will no longer accept towels they are overwhelmed by donations. Any suggestions?
