Survey #240—Full Response from Ellen
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Complete the following statement: “What I wish people could understand about my struggle with clutter and disorganization is _____.” | …is that it it’s not that I don’t care or I am satisfied with the situation. I was very tidy in other phases of life! I am only apparently “content with” the clutter because I have to get-by and accept certain aspects… I would just be miserable all the time otherwise! When I am lacking the energy and time to make significant progress and constantly have to spend my time and energy and mental attention on so many other things in life right now. |
| Describe an area or aspect of your life or home in which you are already sufficiently organized. | All of our clothes once they are folded and hanged! And underneath my bathroom cabinets  |
| Describe something that you’re happy to leave behind in 2024 and something you’re looking forward to making a part of your life in 2025. | Thankful to be leaving behind a house that was way too big to manage for our lifestyle (among so many other issues it created) and looking forward to focusing on prayer and education in 2025! |
| 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. | Is it normal to only be able to accomplish an hour to 90 minutes of organizing every week? I feel like I am constantly playing the “chaos maintenance” game and nothing ever changes and it is exhausting. |
| Future topics | ADHD, “low spoons”, cultural traditions and practices around organizing! |
