Survey #225 Response from Anonymous user
| Which of the following statements best describes your living situation? | I live in a small home where limited space for living and storage tends to cause issues throughout. |
|---|---|
| Describe rooms or areas of your home in which the lack of available space makes living, storage, decluttering, and/or organizing challenging. Be as specific as you can. | The house was built when little recordkeeping was needed, there were few electric appliances /devices/entertainment and decorating for holidays other than maybe a Christmas tree was not a thing. Therefore creating office space has been a challenge. There are only one or two plug receptacles per room for computers, tv, dvd, music is a challenge as well as storage of movies, music and gaming media in a location convenient to the deviced is nonexistent. Until Starlink, there was no cell phone, cable or streaming choice for movies, music or gaming so homes had aallllll these media forms to contend with. Outdoor storage or a low attic that does not even allow crawling except right at the peak are the only options for Christmas and seasonal decor storage. Dampness and changing temperatores are a problem for some things stored there and often leads to unwanted smells absorbed by goods even when they are in plastic totes. |
| Future topics | Decluttering in seasons of life when you don't know what comes next or what you'll need in 6 months and a year. When prices are going up, and income has to stretch further and further, it seems counterintuitive to clear items that may be needed fairly soon i.e. durable medical goods not covered by insurance, special tools as we are forced to become more of a DIYer than we used to due to less disposable income and dwindling emergency funds. |
