Survey #166 Response from Lala
| 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. | Hmmm, everyone I guess. |
| 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.”) | My depression era parents and my mother in particular was a hoarder of mostly newspapers. Now that is one thing my house does NOT have any of... out they go! |
| What is the strongest memory to which you feel connected by way of an object, such as a souvenir, photo, or keepsake? | My father worked all the time when he wasn't sleeping, so I barely knew him at all, growing up. After he retired, my parents lived in a camper in the deep woods in Montana in the summers. I went to visit them and finally got to know my wonderful father over many campfires. I have a picture of him sitting by a campfire that I can always see. I treasure that one the most of all my pictures. |
| 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. | 2 or 3 little motivational hints per episode would be nice. Gathering them all up by number every 6-12 months so I can read them again would be very helpful too. Maybe ask people what they would consider the most ongoing motivational ideas they have that work. I don't have company over, ever, never did, so not likely to. Being by myself doesn't seem to help my clutter habits. |
| Future topics | Motivation ideas, always. Thank you. |
