Survey #166 Response from Tami
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Briefly describe who will benefit from your efforts to declutter and get organized, and how they’ll benefit. Think about members of your household, but also about the larger world—e.g., the people who’ll buy your stuff at a garage sale, the shelter residents who’ll get your donations, the next generation of family who’ll carry a lighter load, and so on. | I benefit, my executor benefits but it was mostly junk I donated except someone was probably excited about the Ugg boots! |
| Tell us about a memory of a person or incident from the formative years of your life that influenced your attitudes and emotions about belongings, clutter, organizing, or any related subject. (For example: “Grandma’s house was packed to the rafters with stuff.”) | I came from a big family, 9 of us kids so there was volume and I collected stuff and received gifts and my volume grew as well. I found TCF by accident and something just clicked when I listened to the clutter and aging podcast. I had one sister that I would say was a hoarder but all of us had stuff. Me not so much anymore:) |
| What is the strongest memory to which you feel connected by way of an object, such as a souvenir, photo, or keepsake? | My Flip Wilson/Geraldine doll that my Mother sold(my fault for leaving it behind when I moved out) and my sister found it at a garage sale years later! Same one because I inexpertly sewed Flip’s side with blue thread. It’s completely unnecessary but it reminds me of lovely Christmas's and my Mom and Santa who always knew what I wanted for Xmas. |
