Do you consider yourself a "morning person," a "night owl," or somewhere in between?Night owl
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?I never get my stuff for the next day ready the night before, even though I have time to, and know it will save me a lot of stress the next day

I often waste time looking for things because I don't put things back in the same place every time

I spend all day online, then wonder why I never get my stuff organized

My place is so messy that it interferes physically with my wanting to even bother getting things organized because I have to watch every step to make sure I don't step on anything

I don't do laudry enough and sometimes run out of clean clothes
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?Everybody in my family is totally clutter-happy and refuse to do anything about it.

I get discouraged at how messy my room gets even a couple days after I tidy it up

Putting like things together in clear ziploc bags is my favorite organizing tool
What daily (or frequent) chore would you like to wave a magic Clutter Fairy wand to remove from your routine?Washing and putting away dishes
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.1. My parents threw out almost everything I ever owned as a child, without telling me or even getting my permission. They even lie and say all of it got "lost." Of course I feel very hurt and disrespected by this. As an adult, how I can I avoid the temptation to purchase these nostalgic items from my past, which I know I don't need and won't use, but feel like I deserve to have back because they were stolen from me?
Future topics

The things you talked about where the purchasing of the item in and of itself is the fun part (you compared it to playing gambling games), and then you can let it go because the "thrill of the chase" was the real pleasure of the item
