Survey #209 Response from Jennifer
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Name up to three clutter problem areas in your home. These may be physical spaces, categories of stuff, or collections of items that you usually or chronically find difficult to get clear—or keep clear—of clutter. | Storage locker |
| For any of the problem areas you identified in your answer to the previous question, list factors that contribute to your difficulty decluttering in these areas. | Taking the time to go "offsite" to organize boxes is a hassle. The storage facility has limited space in which to work and my work schedule doesn't allow for long blocks of time. |
| Name up to three clutter “sweet spots” in your home. These may be physical spaces, categories of stuff, or collections of items that you usually find relatively easy to keep decluttered and organized. | Closet: I don't have a lot of clothes and I swap seasonal stuff stored in a suitcase. Sentimental: If everything is special, nothing is. My sentimental items fit in one 12-gallon watertight Husky tote from Home Depot. |
| For any of the “sweet spots” you identified in your answer to the previous question, list factors that contribute to your ease in (or even enjoyment of) maintaining these areas. | I buy quality pieces of clothing that I can mix and match. I avoid 'fast fashion', which is often made from flimsy fabrics that don't withstand many washings. My sentimental bin is designed to be grab-and-go. After the California wildfires of 2020 wherein I came within a hairsbreadth of my neighborhood nearly burning down, I wanted to curate and create something I can grab and shove in the car in less than thirty seconds. |
| What’s an item or category of stuff that you feel as if you could never get too much of? | STICKERS. I freaking LOVE stickers. I keep them in photo albums as a "dopamine mine" if I'm feeling blue, and they hardly take up any space on a bookshelf. Plus when I shuffle off this mortal coil, my friends can pick stickers they like to remember me by and thus not clutter their own homes. |
