Survey #174 Response from Lela
| Which member(s) of your household support or contribute to your decluttering or organizing efforts, and how? (For example, “My husband keeps the home office and his workshop organized.”) | None |
|---|---|
| Which member(s) of your household frustrate, foil, interrupt, or otherwise complicate your decluttering or organizing efforts, and how? (For example, “My preteen child picks through the donation box to retrieve items even after we’ve reached agreement to get rid of them.”) | A few moments ago, before I clicked on this survey, I tried to sell an old outdoor light up Christmas snowman on Facebook. Suddenly, I get a message from my young-adult daughter saying “You are getting rid of Frosty?!?! Don’t get rid of Frosty!“ She said “You’re Marie Kondo-ing my childhood!” |
| If you were to wish for one change of behavior from someone—or everyone—in your household with respect to clutter, what change would you wish for? (For example, “My preteen child picks through the donation box to retrieve items even after we’ve reached agreement to get rid of them.”) | I wish they could focus more on today, rather than being so sentimental about the past. Memories are in our minds, not in objects. |
| Describe an item about which you have a strong disagreement with someone else in your household over whether or not it deserves a place in your home. (For example, “My mother’s 30 years of TV Guide magazines.”) | I don’t believe we need my husband’s helmet from the army reserves 30 years ago or such a large box of the newspaper articles he wrote 20 years ago (he’s a journalist). I think a photo of the helmet, and a few special clippings of the newspaper articles would be sufficient. |
