| Describe an experience in which clutter—yours or someone else’s—had a negative impact on a relationship. The relationship in question may be one of yours or someone else’s that you’ve observed. | I think my cluttered mind is the worst thing I battle with...it affects my being present in my day. I live alone so this question above is a little mute... But an example that my give you and Ed a smile.... I live in the UK..in an area of terraced houses ( joined together) no drive ways...so parking on the street is the only option..my house is very near a football ground which has no dedicated carpark...I parked my car on the street on a football day...walked home. Did not need my car for a few days... went to get my car the next time I needed it... could not find it anywhere in my street!!🤔 So I reported it stolen to the police. 3 days later I got a call that they had found my car 2 streets away where I had parked it on the road...I was truly embarrassed and felt so guilty - but I had no recollection of parking it there and sincerely thought I had parked in my own road!! |
| Describe an item that evokes a strong association or memories of a person you love, whether that person is still living or gone. This may be something you still own, something you’ve let go, or just an object of which you have a vivid memory. | I have kept my dad's drum sticks...he had not played in a band since before I was born ( I am 62) but whenever he spoke of those times his face would light up like no other memory |
| How might reducing your clutter or making your home more organized affect your most important relationships, for better or for worse? If you live alone and/or don’t feel that your stuff affects any of your relationships, you may answer this question instead: How might reducing your clutter or making your home more organized affect your health, happiness, wellbeing, attitude, or mood? | I am on the other side of clutter keeping... I thought having all the stuff made me feel safe - but it makes my anxious...more to think about, curate and clean. I have to be mindful about bringing stuff in the house as the urge to collect is still there. I am a devoted fan as it's like a serial Dieter watch a program on eating...I used to be cluttered - and I could easily get back there...I just need to be vigilant !! |

| Future topics | Diy stuff... how others store it with no garage... |
