Survey #248—Full Response from Celina
| What useful decluttering or organizing strategies or methods did you take away from the book? | as far as I understand it, one of the key tips is to do things gradually. That's what I did with my dolls e.g. I used to have 7, then sold one even though I thought I wanted to sell two. Once the one was sold, I then listed the other one. I was more mentally prepared. No regrets, looking back. U think the same applies to other things like decor or furniture - sometimes you need to see what some space looks like without a given item, etc. to decide on the other ones. |

| When you hear the word “minimalism” used to describe a lifestyle, what do you think of? | I think of all the single guys with just a few, blank-looking pieces of clothing and a high-end laptop in a blank ikea room on an uncomfortable chair, working remotely, telling people with families and/or with crafty hobbies and/or with limited income how to live their life. No, thanks! |
| “The things you own end up owning you.”* To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? How is it relevant to your stuff? | I think it's an exaggeration. There is another super-wellknown quite: experiences make us happier than things. Well... as someone who gre up poor and can appreciate material things, I'm super grateful every day for having the comfort of life I have, also in the form of material possessions |
