Survey #251—Full Response from Catherine
| 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 a closet completely cleaned out, and I still have disorganized things in the room. I can't seem to get past what I need to keep and what is out and in my line of sight. I know that I will need them in the course of my business, but I don't know what I need now versus what I will or will not need soon enough. During the course of the year, I use the same type of decorative items. I use them up, but I don't know if I am using them up fast enough. |
| What advice might you give your younger self to help reduce or avoid the challenge you described in the previous question? | I would only buy what is required for now. I don't need to bring home extra rolls of ribbon or tulle. |
| 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. | I've been able to get the dining room cleaned up enough to have had guests for 9 days during Christmas. It was wonderful to have my nephews eat at the table and not have too much stuff around on the floor of the dining room. |
| 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)? | I associate frustration and I resent the stuff that is getting in the way of my business. I associate more happiness and contentment with being able to use the space that I have to share with others. |
