Survey #251—Full Response from Krystal
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe a category of stuff, an area of your home, or an organizing or decluttering project or task that you’ve found particularly challenging. | Party items are stuff that I still struggle with, as well as cake supplies. I love the idea of having parties and decorating cakes, but I still can’t get myself to use them or forget to use them. |
| What advice might you give your younger self to help reduce or avoid the challenge you described in the previous question? | I have learned that when a category is too difficult, to take a breather for a while. I may have to stop for a month or so. I know that there is a year of not using it rule, but with me, it may be a 3 year rule on particularly hard categories. There are things that I still want to not let go of. I find that listening to decluttering or reading cluttering advice will eventually cause me to declutter again. |
| Describe a category of stuff, an area of your home, or an organizing or decluttering project or task that you’ve found satisfying or enjoyable to work on. | Old markers and pens are satisfying. I do an occasional writing test to see if they still work. It’s usually the low hanging fruit like plastic shopping bags that can overrun your home, especially when I used to work in a grocery store. It was too easy to go shopping every day. |
| What feelings or emotions do you associate with your answer to the first question (The Challenge)? What feelings or emotions do you associate with your answer to the third question (The Good Stuff)? | It is difficult to let go of the party stuff and cake decorating, because I am really into it. It is a part of my fantasy self that wants to entertain my nieces and nephews and bake and decorate cakes. There are some really cute items. I really love holidays. Pens and markers are a little bit difficult because I am a pen stationery store junkie. I do bullet journaling, but I need the colors to work. The shopping bags are useful , but can be annoying because they take up space. There’s not much emotion there. |
