Survey #251—Full Response from Lise
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe a category of stuff, an area of your home, or an organizing or decluttering project or task that you’ve found particularly challenging. | I have always had trouble with sentimental items. Self imposed responsibility of said items due to family expectations and guilt. |
| What advice might you give your younger self to help reduce or avoid the challenge you described in the previous question? | Let it go - it is not your stuff or responsibility. They can be buried with it - don't bury yourself. Their expectations are unrealistic. They value their stuff more than they value you. |
| Describe a category of stuff, an area of your home, or an organizing or decluttering project or task that you’ve found satisfying or enjoyable to work on. | The bedroom - clearing unnecessary items around the room and closet/dresser. It makes it quick and easy to clean and walking in before going to bed is so relaxing. My deep breath of peace - at the end of the day. |
| What feelings or emotions do you associate with your answer to the first question (The Challenge)? What feelings or emotions do you associate with your answer to the third question (The Good Stuff)? | "The Challenge": Frustrated and unsure what is the right amount of sentimental memories I really want to keep. I would like to be able to see/hold certain things to bring back a memory. Maybe, I am afraid of forgetting. "Good Stuff": Peace & tranquility - lightness in my heart and shoulders. An easiness that I want for all life's aspects. |
