Survey #251—Full Response from Faith
| 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. | My biggest difficulty involves the handbags that I have received as gifts, or that I found a local thrift shop at a huge discount. All are good quality. I have let go several, but I still have more than I use. |
| What advice might you give your younger self to help reduce or avoid the challenge you described in the previous question? | Stay out of the thrift store! |
| 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. | Decluttering books was kind of enjoyable. One fond look, and then goodbye. But I could still do more, by Reading the ones I have received as gifts, and then letting them go: that would be good. |
| 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)? | Emotions for the Challenge would be pride that I found a bargain and exerted my self-perceived excellent taste, and affection that I have a daughter that knows me so well. Emotions with The Good Stuff would be guilt that someone gave me a lovely or informative book, and I have had it for a year or more without reading it (and I am reading all the time). |
| Future topics | Maybe more on the Scandinavian Method. You have touched on that many times, in your own life and that of clients, but I am older than I think I am (I think I am a spring chicken), and I need to do the process on myself. |
