Survey #166 Response from Anonymous user
| 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. | My family now. The people who purchase my donations at the thrift store. My survivors after I die. |

| 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 grew up in a hoarded house. It was so embarrassing because my mother wouldn't throw anything away. But I picked up some similar habits. When I moved out I used to save catsup packets from fast food meals just like my mother -- only my packets were "organized" in a plastic bag. One day I ran out of catsup and opened one of the 10-year-old packets I'd moved from another state with me. It was dried up. I ended up opening all the packets and they were all dried up. I don't save condiment packets anymore. |
