PronounsShe/her
Do you consider yourself a "morning person," a "night owl," or somewhere in between?Night owl
What are the trouble spots in your daily routine or your family’s routines? In other words, where do you find your habits and routines breaking down on a regular basis?My health is not great so I over estimate what I can get done (I have to be careful buying fresh produce).
What aspects of your home (the size, the layout, the contents, the organization of those contents, other household members, etc.) either contribute to or detract from your ability to cultivate and execute productive and useful routines?My part of the house is my room so this supports my need to live lightly - in the physical weight of my things, my ethical responsibility to not keep things I am not using (since they could be used by others), and simplicity of the number and type of my items (a decluttered space makes room, both time and energy, for the possibility of living a life that matters). As Joseph Campbell wrote — 'You must give up the life you planned in order to have the life that is waiting for you.' These are not just words to me, I experience this every day, sometimes every hour. This is why I am almost a raving evangelist for decluttering one's physical life. I want to scream at everyone - there is a life beyond drowning in stuff (but I do know people who have a large house and are fine with their 10,000 books). thank you for listening
What daily (or frequent) chore would you like to wave a magic Clutter Fairy wand to remove from your routine?the only thing I can think of is what we both want - a resident gourmet chef to (for me) cook indian, ethiopean, and thai food. Oh yes - vacuuming, but my housemate is not ready to let me rip up the carpet in the second floor (first floor is artificial wood flooring).
