Survey #175 Response from Katharine
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Think about a decluttering project of any size that you’ve completed in the past. (The project may be as little as one section of cabinet, a drawer, or a small set of objects.) How successful have you been at maintaining the space or collection in the finished state? | Somewhat successful |
| For the project you thought about in the previous question, what habits, attitudes, events, people, or other factors contribute to your tendency to re-clutter the space? (For example, “I’m a habitual shopper” or “My family doesn’t respect my organizing efforts” or “The mail just keeps coming!”) | Still haven’t created better habits dealing with paper. Hard time saying no thanks, when people offer items. The open space is yelling to be filled up.🤪 |
| What habits, mindsets, practices, or other factors contribute to your ability to successfully maintain a previously cluttered space? (For example, “I reset my dining room after each meal” or “I’ve set a limit of five decorative items in each room” or “I use the ‘after’ photo I took as motivation to keep my bathroom shelves organized.”) | I created questions/reasons why items can or cannot enter my home. Applying what I’ve learned including post notes to remind me. |
| In which collections or categories of stuff are you most inclined to re-clutter—i.e., to refill areas and spaces that you’ve previously had success decluttering? (For example, “I purge my clothes closet every couple of years, but it’s always overflowing again within three months” or “My coffee mug collection is always out of control.”) | My craft/workshop space gets filled quick. Items come home for projects, yet until I work on it, the area gets overwhelming until it’s all cleaned up. |
| Fill in the blank: “When I finish my current decluttering/organizing project, I’m going to treat myself to ___.” | Ice cream |
