| 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. | I THINK MANY PEOPLE GET DIVORCED JUST TO RUN AWAY FROM THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF CLUTTER, AND ESPEICALLY PAPERWORK, THAT ACCUMULATE OVER DECADES. THE "RESPONSIBLE PARTY" STAYS AND DEALS WITH THE MESS,,,,,AND THE SELFISH PERSON RUNS AWAY FROM THE MESS..AND LEAVES IT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO DEAL WITH.... A GROWN CHILD OR EX-SPOUSE |
| 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. | MY MOTHER'S ANTIQUE SECRETARY CABINET...THAT I GREW UP WITH AND STILL HAVE. VERY SMALL PIECES OF POTTERY, MY SONS MADE WHEN THEY WERE SMALL |
| 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? | IF I DIE IN A CAR CRASH, I DO NOT WANT MY ADULT SONS TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH MY CLUTTER.....ESPECIALLY THE PAPERWORK AND PHOTOS. THAT IS MY GIFT TO THEM. TO GIVE THEM LESS TO DEAL WITH WHEN I AM GONE |
| Choose the option that best describes your feelings about Valentine’s Day: | Other |
| Please elaborate, if you wish. | TO CELEBRATE WITH MY TINY GRANDCHILDREN |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). | PLANTING THE SEEDS. (FOR SPRINGTIME) YOU BOTH HAVE BEEN PLANTING SEEDS OF BRAND NEW WAYS OF LOOKING AT THINGS, THAT GERMINATE FOR DAYS, MONTHS, OR EVEN YEARS IN MY MIND. LIKE BIGGER BUCKETS, FLOORS FIRST, CLEAR FLAT SURFACES, DO NOT MAKE MORE PURCHASES., .. THIS ALL CAME CLEAR TO ME WITH MY BASEMENT RECENTLY. INSTEAD OF DREADING THE HORRID BASEMENT DECLUTTER, I WAS ACTUALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE CLEAN UP. BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME I FELT I FINALLY HAD THE SKILLS TO DO THIS EASILY (THANKS TO YOUR PODCASTS). NOW I KNOW HOW TO DO IT, EASILY AND SUCCESSFULLY FOR THE FIRST TIME. THANK YOU SO MUCH |
