| 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. | My DH has an extremely low tolerance for clutter. I had two packages of meat in the refrigerator and he called it "outrageous." He thinks they need to be in the freezer immediately after getting home from the grocery store. As well, I had cleaned up my office and nearly a week later there were just a few things on my desk and he comments, "Your office is getting to look a bit messy again." |
| 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. | My mother passed away in 2019. One of the FEW items I took was an ornate pottery (?) basket which Mom had in her bathroom. It's SO pretty. She just had it sitting on top of the toilet tank, but I use it to house my scrunchies. It's beige with a light aqua and gold design. WIsh I could show you a picture. |
| 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? | DH would have a lot less to complain about when it comes to me. A challenge within it all is, DH doesn't like change, so it's even a challenge to sort through things in his presence. He can't get the concept, in order for things to look better, they need to be disorganized for a time. |
| Choose the option that best describes your feelings about Valentine’s Day: | Other |
| Please elaborate, if you wish. | When I was single for so many years (50), it was low on the list, along with Halloween. Now there may be a card, but definitely not on the level of pampering! |
| Future topics | How to declutter a filing cabinet (yes, paper again). How often should it be done? Mine needs some major work, so it's not a simple refresh. Along with this topic, it would be great to include the length of time particular papers should be kept--bank statements and such...the legal stuff. |
