Survey #175 Response from Lenette
| 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!”) | As I continue my purge project, I am constantly rethinking where I want to store the items I keep. That will cause me to move items already decluttered and organized to a new area so that I can use the previous area for something else. |
| 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.”) | Staying out of the stores so that I'm not bringing new items into the house. |
| 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.”) | I tend to overstock paper goods. Paper towels, bathroom tissue and nose tissues. But at least its all usable and does eventually get used. I rotate it. I think I secretly fear another shortage. |
| Fill in the blank: “When I finish my current decluttering/organizing project, I’m going to treat myself to ___.” | A day of staying in my jammies and binge watching decluttering videos on YouTube. |
