Survey #174 Response from Lisa

| Which member(s) of your household support or contribute to your decluttering or organizing efforts, and how? (For example, “My husband keeps the home office and his workshop organized.”) | While my children were at home, they each supported my efforts by allowing me to help them declutter and organize their rooms. As empty nesters, my husband and I have been working diligently to declutter every area in our home and on our 21 acre property. After we declutter an area, we work together to organize the items we need to keep. Sometimes, he struggles with the sunk costs, but not as much as he previously did. |
| If you were to wish for one change of behavior from someone—or everyone—in your household with respect to clutter, what change would you wish for? (For example, “My preteen child picks through the donation box to retrieve items even after we’ve reached agreement to get rid of them.”) | I hope it becomes easier for my husband to let go of things without thinking about the money items cost. I also hope he has an easier time recognizing what supports his and our real lives as opposed to unrealistic fantasies. |
| Describe an item about which you have a strong disagreement with someone else in your household over whether or not it deserves a place in your home. (For example, “My mother’s 30 years of TV Guide magazines.”) | There are almost no disagreements between my husband and me about items in our HOME. We both dislike clutter and don't like having a bunch of stuff. However, when it comes to our 30'x30' shop full of parts, supplies, and tools - electrical, plumbing, automotive, construction, etc. - there have been some strong disagreements through the years about items in those categories. |
