Survey #230 Response from Katharine
| What is your clutter keeping you from having, from being, or from doing? Describe how your life would be different if all of your clutter disappeared overnight. What new—or familiar—activities, experiences, or things would you invite into your space? | Less stress, feeling overwhelmed and negative thoughts in my mind. Feelings of accomplishment, relief and freedom to just be. Music. The ability to get to the instruments and learn to play. To be able to find items quickly and easily. To be able to maintain items in less time.😀 |

| Describe an item in your home that you feel as if you couldn’t live without. What meaning or significance does this item hold for you? What feelings does it evoke? Do you love it? Need it? Use it regularly? Feel a sense of obligation about it? (And so on.) | This question is hard to pinpoint to an item. 🤔 During the hurricane without power, I was wishing I had batteries for my radio & a fan for during the night. Communication from others meant more to me than I realized. It made me think of what was most important to save. My first thought was photos of my family. Then my vintage sewing machine, called the “Featherweight Machine”. It’s tiny & only 11lbs with a hand crank. So no electricity needed. 🤓 Being able to mend items is calming and functional for me. It can be used to help others and myself. I do enjoy using it and my adult son knows that is the one vintage machine to hold onto.🥰 |
| If you had to leave your home suddenly with no certainty of ever being able to return, what’s the one thing that you would take with you, and why? For purposes of this question, assume or pretend that you don’t have an emergency evacuation bag or kit prepared, and you only have time to grab one treasured item on your way out the door. | Family photos |
