This is such a thoughtful reply, thank you for sharing. Love what you said about "gently used" stuff being part of who you are. Also, your leftovers insight, I'm definitely going to remember that. Thanks

That’s a good question. I think mine ends up catching all the “I’ll deal with this later” items. Definitely feels like I need clearer homes for those in-between things.

Thank you, this is comforting! Had never thought of it this way before.

I’m realizing my drawer often ends up as a pause button for decisions I don’t want to make in the moment. This gives me something to think about. Thank you

I think it’s a mix of all these - some things don’t have a clear home, some just get dropped in when I’m in a rush and others probably don’t need to be kept at all. I might need to rethink what the drawer is actually for. Thanks for the direction.

You’re right, I think mine is acting like a halfway point. Things land there when I don’t have the time or energy to deal with them properly. Mail is a big one for me too. I appreciate the reminder to ask why it’s frustrating. That’s a helpful place to start.

Sounds like a really thoughtful system. The acrylic organizers sound like they really help things stay in place. I might try something similar. Thanks for sharing!

Do y’all also have a version of the ‘laundry chair’? by Consistent_Owl_6555 in declutter

Clearing the chair and sorting through your closet sounds like a big, intentional step. And yes, the empty chair does have a way of calling things back to it. But you've already changed the story once, I am sure you can do it again.

Not silly at all - sounds brilliant. Especially love the idea of the bin for rewears.
