Survey #217 Response from Joyce

← Go back

PronounsShe/her
Do you consider yourself a "morning person," a "night owl," or somewhere in between?Neither
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?If I check email, then I check social media, then I go down internet rabbit holes, then I'm late.
I'm better at following a morning checklist than an evening one, because the morning checklist gets me out the door, but I fall asleep on the sofa before I finish (or start!) my evening routine.
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?Big stuff happens (e.g., two floods within 3 months), so while I'm still digging out from one event, something else interrupts my flow and creates more clutter.
I look at said clutter, and get the ol' rhymes-with-bucket feeling.
I will use others' problems to avoid dealing with my own clutter.
What daily (or frequent) chore would you like to wave a magic Clutter Fairy wand to remove from your routine?Vacuum
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.Gayle, I know you've moved before. Once you get to a new home, how do you figure out where everything will go (new routines?). How do you fight the urge to stop unpacking & just keep your stuff in the moving boxes?
Future topics

Getting unstuck;
Finding places to store the miscellany (komono) after decluttering;
Decluttering when you don't even feel like getting out of bed (Really - I'm fine! I'm thinking about a friend I've been helping)
