| Complete the following statement: “My home could serve as the Museum of _____.” (You may also substitute “monument” for “museum.”) | Museum of unfollowed dreams. |
| Complete the following statement: “My home is a warehouse for _____.” | I suffer from a lot of self doubt and anxiety due to past trauma. I have the desire to do certain things like host a dinner party but feel like I can’t carry it off. I have the table decorations and the candles for each holiday but I have never followed through. I am working towards hosting Christmas this year. I have a plan to be ready earlier this year. I am hoping I can muster the confidence. |
| Describe something that you’re keeping because it connects you with a past version of yourself, your family history, a former relationship, etc. | I have a set of baskets that my grandmother gave me. I really like them. I don’t use them because I have been keeping them for certain occasions. I am hoping to use them this Christmas. I have been trying to overcome a few issues and feel like this year I am more confident about using the things I have instead of waiting for a special occasion. |
| Describe something that you’re keeping for a future need, whether real or imagined. What is the likelihood that you will use the item in question within the next year? Five years? | I feel ready to use my unused decor that I have been keeping for “special occasions “ I have listened to a few podcasts on this topic and it made me realize that every day is a special occasion if we love something use it don’t wait because we might never get the chance. I want to use the things I have and love and have been worried about them being too good for every day but after changing my mind I think I am worth using them. They might depreciate in value but I don’t care. I am worth using the items I have kept after decluttering. |
| 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 am thinking about the effect trauma has had on me and my clutter. Not feeling confident to make decisions about what I want to keep and will I regret the items I decide to donate. Is there any questions I should ask myself before I make a donation decision. I am trying to trust my own opinions but it is challenging. Thanks |
| Future topics | Future life. Planning for what I want in my life in the next few years. How do you make a plan and follow through. |
