Survey #236 Full Response from Lynn
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe a collection or category of items in your home that you’re worried might have crossed over into “too many” or “too much.” | Can't say this is the case with anything other than my mom's cut glass crystal dishware collection I mentioned in a previous survey. Oh, yes, I also have way too many houseplants and they are becoming a pain to keep maintained. |
| For the category or collection described above, what factor(s) contribute to your assessment of the stash as excessive? | When I spend more time cleaning/maintaining, rearranging things than actually using or enjoying them, that's when it is time to reevaluate their continued existence in my house. |
| For the category or collection described previously, what would you consider a reasonable limit? Your answer may take the form of a precise number, a volume of space, a budget, a time commitment, or any other metric that makes sense to you. Optional: Explain how you arrived at this answer. | If I have to acquire more storage container/real estate for an item, there are too many and it is time to thin the herd. For the most part I try to use the one in one out strategy. |
| Describe something that you keep in your space because it reminds you of a better time in your life or a fond memory, even though you might otherwise consider it unnecessary or excessive. | Family photos and my family's artwork full into this category. I've decluttered quite a bit of it. What remains falls into this category. |
