Survey #166 Response from Anonymous user

← Go back

Tell us about a memory of a person or incident from the formative years of your life that influenced your attitudes and emotions about belongings, clutter, organizing, or any related subject. (For example: “Grandma’s house was packed to the rafters with stuff.”)I don’t remember my paternal grandma with much stuff around. My mom’s house was such a clutter chaos at the last place we lived (1970-1993, until she passed away). I inherited that gene, my sister did not. She is a clean freak. I wasn’t too bad until my kids got in middle school. I just couldn’t throw anything away.
What is the strongest memory to which you feel connected by way of an object, such as a souvenir, photo, or keepsake?I have a photo of my mom and her brother when washer was about 3, he was about 2. It is so special to me, since my mom is no longer living.
Future topics

I have moved numerous things to the basement or garage so we could paint prior to new carpet in 3 rooms. My issue is now how to get going on removing what I don’t want or need. What would the best process be to clear out some of the stuff and keep going. I don’t want to bring some of the stuff back in the clear rooms. Obviously, I need some things, but trying to limit the items. I know I shouldn’t stuff shift, but didn’t have time to go though them.
Thanks! You both are awesome!
