PronounsShe/her
Think about a decluttering project of any size that you’ve completed in the past. (The project may be as little as one section of cabinet, a drawer, or a small set of objects.) How successful have you been at maintaining the space or collection in the finished state?Somewhat successful
For the project you thought about in the previous question, what habits, attitudes, events, people, or other factors contribute to your tendency to re-clutter the space? (For example, “I’m a habitual shopper” or “My family doesn’t respect my organizing efforts” or “The mail just keeps coming!”)I like buying clothes and as my weight changes I´m almost forced to buy new stuff.
What habits, mindsets, practices, or other factors contribute to your ability to successfully maintain a previously cluttered space? (For example, “I reset my dining room after each meal” or “I’ve set a limit of five decorative items in each room” or “I use the ‘after’ photo I took as motivation to keep my bathroom shelves organized.”)The more I declutter, the more mindful I am with shopping. If I see something in the store I automatically think "if you buy it, you will have to declutter it in a few months". Also I try to declutter regularly.
In which collections or categories of stuff are you most inclined to re-clutter—i.e., to refill areas and spaces that you’ve previously had success decluttering? (For example, “I purge my clothes closet every couple of years, but it’s always overflowing again within three months” or “My coffee mug collection is always out of control.”)finished and unfinished craft projects float around the house all the time.
Fill in the blank: “When I finish my current decluttering/organizing project, I’m going to treat myself to ___.”shopping (for more clutter *lol*)
