Survey #255—Full Response from Michelle
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Is there a room or space in your home that you don’t love or that you tend to avoid using—or even entering? What factors contribute to your distaste for or lack of enjoyment of this space? | I dislike my shoe room, my husband took it over as a uniform room because he often gets up at silly hours to start work early, but it has become a bit of a dumping ground for random stuff |
| Do you have regrets about anything that you’ve discarded or given away in your decluttering process? If you answered yes, how do you manage negative feelings about your choice? If you answered no, to what do you credit your satisfaction with the choices you’ve made? | Never, decluttering makes me feel calm in a life of utter chaos. My work life is unpredictable, I am a Criminal lawyer, so most of my clients are at crisis point in their life, I can start my day with a full to do list, only to find a client is suddenly in custody, or in a crisis situation, which can take hours to sort out, and then my to do list begins at 4pm, not 9am, or I end up out all night attending on a "looked after" child (in care). I find that I can't function at work, and maintain my home if I have excess possessions, and the more I declutter, the less my tolerance is for junk getting in my way. Some of my relatives suffer with volume, and their homes make me feel anxious. I think I use decluttering as a coping mechanism, to bring order to chaos. |
