| Describe a popular myth or misconception about clutter or organizing that you believed in the past, but have now come to see as incorrect. Who or what changed your mind about this idea? | Misconception.: My own relatives will want my "valuable" stuff... like my best furniture, dishes, etc. What changed my mind. is that they will not accept most items...even though I offer many times. And even worse, I think they were annoyed with me, about how many times I kept offering things for them to take. I think I crossed over into the "pushy" area, about this. Just one example was a kitchen hanging pot rack, that was costly for me, ...but it will not work out for when I downsize. So I continually offered it to my relatives, but no one wanted that style. Thank goodness that Habitat for Humanity gratefully accepted it. |
| 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 am so sorry about your bad knee. I understand , because I could not walk on one foot. Ironically, it is an Organizing item, that is helping me the most to heal my foot! I was already relying on some useful, sturdy rolling carts to help me organize, . But when when I injured my foot, I have been using these carts as "walkers" all over the house. . Now I can hang on to the rolling cart, as I push it around, and it holds all the stuff I need to work on, or put away in another room. Rolling carts are essential to use in hospitals, offices, and airplanes... and now they are essential for me to help heal my foot. |
| Future topics | Upgrading and up cycling. 1. For example, I recently found out my freezer/ refrigerator food storage containers were not as safe (plastics) as they should be. So now I am buying safer food storage containers..., but I am using the "old" plastic food storage containers to organize non food items....., like office, medical, beauty, craft supplies. 2. When I buy a new purse, I am now hanging my old purse on the closet rod, to organize/store gloves, hats, keys, etc. |
