| 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 feel my clutter problems have to do with not being able to commit to decision, aka doubting my decision process and being afraid I’ll make a mistake.
