Survey #242—Full Response from Lise
| Pronouns | She/her |

| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | Statement B is closer - I can de-clutter, organize and enjoy it. However, I need to develop skills to control emotional attachments to certain objects. After finding writings from a deceased family member I was able to release things freely. I did want to release the items prior but could not bring myself to until the discovery of her thoughts/beliefs. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | It depends on the day I feel I am closer to statement B with "bit by bit" and there are times with statement A "where to start". Then there is the disruptions of life when things come to a screeching halt and getting back is an uphill battle mentally and physically. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | I feel grateful for the people who have been in my life that have influenced me on who I have become. I know their physical items are not them but a reminder they existed. I then feel sad that the individuals are not here physically and "sometimes" have trouble letting go. I have feelings of obligation to keep inherited items and then guilt if I let them go. Why?... - I don't know. My grandmother had joked that if I did not do (x,y,z... ) I would only inherit the buggy pancake mix. At least that is a no-brainer to throw out. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | I am in-between. Currently, unemployed and financially insecure I do not want to donate/dispose of some items to avoid having to repurchase again. |
| Please read the two statements below, then answer the questions that follow. | In-between. I keep and donate items that I paid a lot for... it just comes down to buyers remorse either way. I now really overthink purchases. |
| Write a statement that summarizes your current mindset with respect to the decluttering and organizing journey. | I want peace and ease in my living environment since it is one thing I have "some" control over.  |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Do you have a specific (inherited or purchased) item you would want to keep "forever" & grab if you had to flee due to a natural disaster or house fire? |
