| Explain your reason or rationale for keeping the thing(s) you described in your answer to the previous question. | Some items are consumable, so I just need to use them and not be wasteful. Jewelry and accessory trends come and go, but I also go in and out of my own seasons of change, so why get rid of them if I might just get them again? |
| What’s your favorite thing about summer? And what could you do this week to make more room in your life or your home for your summer fun? | Don’t enjoy summer at all, but there’s more daylight so I could use that to get more done. |
| 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. | I’ve lived between two worlds. Poverty led to holding on to anything I could get. Having more led to overconsumption. How do I set reasonable boundaries for what I buy and keep? I’d like to be more balanced, but in today’s world, I don’t think I really know what that looks like. |
| Future topics | How to not allow items to take over/become our identity. |
