| 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. | Living with clutter with a family of mother, father and five children can cause chaos quickly. Just getting out the door on time can be harried: where's my shoe? Where's my homework? Where are the car keys? Living in such a stressful, negative situation myself caused me to start finding solutions and started me on my journey to be more organized and less cluttered. |
| 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. | There are many to choose from, but the first thing that comes to mind is my grandmother's large, oval aluminum pot and lid. It's one of three things that I have of hers. It makes me think of running up to her and our hugging each other, her little home, her crocheted items and much more about her. |
| 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 and having things organized makes finding things much easier, makes cleaning, preparing for the day, and cooking easier; reduces stress, and makes a more uplifting atmosphere. Reducing clutter and organizing things at home reduces health hazards such as tripping, things falling over, causing fire and injuries, and breathing dust and mold. Reducing clutter also reduces dealing with pests such as insects and rodents, and also the predators that prey on them; for example, having scorpions that prey on roaches and crickets or rattlesnakes that prey on rodents, etc. |
