Survey #166 Response from Susan
| 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 live alone, so the first person to benefit will be me - to live in a serene house, that I don't feel ashamed to answer the door to. The second person to benefit will be my sister, who will have to clear the house if I pre-decease her (which is likely, as she's both younger & fitter than me). The third will be the wider world - my favourite two charity shops, and the recipients of gifted items on Freegle/Freecycle. |
|---|---|
| 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.”) | Our family (two parents + three children) lived in a house that was genuinely too small, and was hence cluttered. |
| What is the strongest memory to which you feel connected by way of an object, such as a souvenir, photo, or keepsake? | Favourite clothes, which I wish I still possessed. They'd be too small to wear now, but I'd love to at least have the fabric. |
| 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. | What's the hardest thing you come across in your endeavours to help people declutter. |
| Future topics | Anything on keeping up motivation would be great. And thanks for everything you both do to help & inspire us 🙂 |
