PronounsShe/her
Which of the following statements best describes your living situation?I have no (human) children.
Please complete the following statement:
  • “Since I can’t blame my children for my clutter, I choose to blame…”
I pretty much blame myself. I grew up in a large family and we could never find scissors or tape or whatever. So when I got my first appointment by myself and I still couldn't find these things, I had to look "inward".
What environmental or social issues most concern you with respect to your efforts to declutter, organize, and maintain your home?I've taken your suggestions about limiting shampoo, hand cream and other personal care items - use up the one I have before buying more. I try to buy less and then be gentle with myself about throwing out old product (past their healthful state to give to others).

I try to buy locally, trying to avoid packaging laden deliveries from Amazon when I can. I try to donate goods to non-profit organizations that take almost everything but trust that if I do that things will end up with someone that needs them. I donate books to a local non-profit that specializes in books with profits going to a good cause.
What outdoor activity or activities tend to take time away from your indoor chores in the warmer months?Liking to be out and about. I live in Massachusetts and we don't have a lot of warmer months where there are outside craft shows, fairs, dining and other activities, so you want to enjoy them while you can. That said, I'm retired, so there is really still time to do the chores if I want to. (Also, some of the outdoor activities involve shopping, so I need to be careful there).
