| If you shop in thrift stores, resale shops, charity stores, pawn shops, or other sources of second-hand goods, what kinds of things do you look for? Are there any categories of items that you would ONLY buy used? Any categories of items that you would NEVER buy used? | I have purchased clothing for myself and my young children from a thrift store. I have purchased high end second hand jewelry from eBay, and I have purchased a lot of second hand designer handbags from Poshmark. I personally would not buy previously worn shoes second hand . |
| If you’ve ever completed a major decluttering project, have you experienced re-cluttering anxiety afterwards? Please describe your experience and how you’ve tried to manage this feeling. | We have a walk in attic in our home. It is huge. My husband is a collector and loves to fill the attic with whatever he can. I swear he has some fear of an open and clear space. I spent a lot of time clearing most of my belongings from the attic in an attempt to clear the space. Instead of leaving it that way, my husband found a way to fill it back up. Now, I feel so much anxiety when I go up there that I try and avoid the space altogether. I never go up and if I need something I just make my husband get it. |
| How often do you deep-clean your kitchen, going above and beyond whatever daily or several-time-a-week routines you maintain? | At least once a month |
| What routines or habits have been useful to ensure that your kitchen is always clean? | A reset every night before bed. Keeping the counters clear of excess appliances. Putting dishes in the dishwasher and running it every night regardless of how much is in it. |
