Survey #201 Response from C
| 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. | Both my DH and I keep things far too long for "Justin" and because at times that has worked out well, and it gave us much pleasure to see someone appreciate the items, we think it can happen again. It has probably only happend 5 times in our 45 years together. |

| 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. | The paintings that were in the childhood homes of my mother and father which travelled first with them and then with us from place to place as we moved around the world, and now are in my home. |
| 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 see the problems my DH has with his clutter, his sense of overwhelm with his paper chaos, but when I offer to help, he says he cannot be helped, there are more important things to do with the time left to us. So, it is bad enough that I have my own unfinished projects to deal with I have to also deal with his chaos. |
