PronounsShe/her
Do you consider yourself a "morning person," a "night owl," or somewhere in between?Other
Please elaborate, if you wish.Have chronic illness with lots of meds. Am hung over in morning by sleeping meds. Start to come around early afternoon and can do some light work in 5 to 10 minute increments. By early evening all energies are spent and am too tired to function. So my most productive time is afternoon. Before this illness I was definitely a morning person, rising at 6 am and on the go all day until 11 pm when I went to bed. No sleeping problems then.
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?Chronic illness messes with my good intentions. I never know how long feeling good will last as there are many instances when my strength and stamina are gone "poof" just like that with no apparent cause. Basically I have to live my life moment-to-moment. But I still manage to get a little done most days.
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 and I are crammed into a tiny one-bedroom senior apartment, where there is very little room for the necessities of life let alone all my hobby stuff. I am constantly downsizing my collection and bringing in new items. I keep saying to myself, "I'm not going to buy anything new. And then, presto, something new comes out that I just have to have. So then I must decide which item will be leaving my collection next.
What daily (or frequent) chore would you like to wave a magic Clutter Fairy wand to remove from your routine?Daily personal care, such as shower, brushing teeth, etc. I have so very little strength and this routine takes a lot out of me.

Tips on how to change our Mindset so we don't feel the need to buy more stuff. If I could just stop bringing in new stuff and save my money how helpful that would be. I've been trying for years. I can go for a while without buying, and then it's like a dam breaks and I just gotta get something new, even when I don't really need it.
