| If you shop in thrift stores, resale shops, charity stores, pawn shops, or other sources of second-hand goods, what kinds of things do you look for? Are there any categories of items that you would ONLY buy used? Any categories of items that you would NEVER buy used? | home decor or art (pictures and frames), glass or ceramic items to use in a new way ( handle-less creamer for a pen holder) , clothes, plant pots I'd never buy undergarments or shoes, but I'm fortunate enough to be able NOT to. |
| If you’ve ever completed a major decluttering project, have you experienced re-cluttering anxiety afterwards? Please describe your experience and how you’ve tried to manage this feeling. | I downsized throughout the whole house many things that hadn't been used for years. Several years later, I realized that we needed several of things that were gone in the " great purge" . So, I made do with substitutes for most of the items. Spouse is still cross at me. Who would have guessed that he would want to start canning in his seventies? I had done all that and didn't want to start again. |
| How often do you deep-clean your kitchen, going above and beyond whatever daily or several-time-a-week routines you maintain? | At least once a year |
| What routines or habits have been useful to ensure that your kitchen is always clean? | Leave the kitchen clean at night so that you have a clean space in the morning. Make my bed every morning. Pick up stray objects and put them away. " A place for everything and everything in its place." My mother swept the kitchen and diningroom floors three times a day, after every meal and often again after we went to bed. I try to sweep at least twice a day. Mop the kitchen floor every day or second day. Have a routine for loading and unloading the dishwasher. |
