Survey #201 Response from Lela
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe an experience in which clutter—yours or someone else’s—had a negative impact on a relationship. The relationship in question may be one of yours or someone else’s that you’ve observed. | When dating my future husband, his apartment appalled me -- newspapers, fast food paraphernalia, & dirty clothes were scattered everywhere like a bomb had exploded. The sight did not encourage my aspirations for marriage. |
| Describe an item that evokes a strong association or memories of a person you love, whether that person is still living or gone. This may be something you still own, something you’ve let go, or just an object of which you have a vivid memory. | For the majority of my life I kept a small stick because I had watched my grandfather whittle a point on both ends of it with his pocket knife while we were enjoying the afternoon sitting on his front porch. I had such fond memories of playing, catching crawdads in the creek, & working in the strawberry patch at his house! |
| How might reducing your clutter or making your home more organized affect your most important relationships, for better or for worse? If you live alone and/or don’t feel that your stuff affects any of your relationships, you may answer this question instead: How might reducing your clutter or making your home more organized affect your health, happiness, wellbeing, attitude, or mood? | I do 90% of the maintenance and repairs at our house; so the less material possessions we own, the less work I have to do. I have been dedicated to decluttering for many years & can't believe how much stuff we used to cram into our house & how much faster & easier it is now to clean and maintain our home. |
| Choose the option that best describes your feelings about Valentine’s Day: | It’s a special day for my spouse or partner to pamper and spoil me. |
