Survey #175 Response from Jane
| 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? | Very successful |
| 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.”) | Because things keep coming in (some out of my control like the mail), I've had to develop new habits. I now have a system to handle mail as it comes in. In addition, I use a "one-in two-out" rule when shopping for anything that's not a need. For wants rather than needs, I ask myself if I'm willing to let two things go if I get the new item. That's reduced the number of things that come in while I'm continuing my decluttering journey. |
| Fill in the blank: “When I finish my current decluttering/organizing project, I’m going to treat myself to ___.” | A meal out. That's actually something I do every time a friend comes to help me declutter anyway. 🙂 |
