Survey #201 Response from PJ
| 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. | My love life has completely stalled for 15 years as my house is so full there is literally no room for another person - not only am I ashamed to show someone else how I live, but if it worked out between us, how would I sort through it all in time to move out, or for them to move in? It would take years, but I'm working on it now, because you never know - love could be just around the corner 🙂 |
| 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. | I still have my engagement ring from an ex, it's a beautiful ring which is completely me, even to the point that he chose one with diamonds that are flush with the band as I'm so clumsy I would have scratched everything in sight! But if I actually put it on - on a different finger - I get flooded by the bad memories. |
| 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? | Reducing clutter would allow me to invite family to stay in comfort - which would be such a gift to spend more time with them. My mother is also cluttered and the spare bedrooms at her house are full of things (which maybe where I inherited my tendencies). I dream of a spare bedroom with a lovely comfy bed for guests, space to hang their clothes and store things in drawers while they stay. This dream is keeping me motivated to clear out the spare bedroom - I will get there this year!!! |
| Choose the option that best describes your feelings about Valentine’s Day: | It’s the day right before the best discounts of the year on chocolate. |
| 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). | Interested to know how people's pets react to them decluttering / sorting / clearing - my dog first thought we were packing to go somewhere, but now she's so used to me spending an evening going through a box she's completely relaxed & snores on the floor keeping me company. I think she also appreciates having some extra space to run around in 🙂 |
