Survey #164 Response from Anonymous user
| What are your most compelling reasons to reduce clutter and/or to get organized? These may include your personal goals, work objectives, plans, fears, physical limitations, lifestyle choices, family history, etc. | I’d like to say it was to be organised, efficient, and to have a pleasant and aesthetically pleasing home; but I suspect it also has a lot to do with fear of becoming a pack rat like some of my older family members… |

| What external factors drive or support your organizing efforts? Think about positive or negative signals from outside yourself that influence your desire or inclination to declutter and organize.

| What internal factors support your organizing efforts? Think about positive or negative thoughts or feelings that influence your desire or inclination to declutter and organize. (Examples: the urge to start a new hobby, feelings of guilt or shame, a desire to share your surplus with people who need it, etc.) | I have always suspected that holding on to too much stuff was psychologically damaging, long before it became part of the popular consciousness; I wanted to avoid being the sort of person who is stuck in the past. |
