Survey #257—Full Response from Celina
| How have your ideas, attitudes, and behaviors around clutter changed over the course of your adult life? Do you have a higher or lower threshold for what counts as “clutter”? | it's easier to part with some things now that I consider jsut rubbish e.g. small tickets or papers that I used to keep out of sentiment. However, growing up poor and experiencing flactuating weight has caused me, for instance, to be unable to part with clothes and yet unable to refrain myself from shopping for clothes deals. |

| Do you find it easier or harder to declutter and organize as time goes by? Are there categories of stuff that get easier to manage? Are there categories that get harder to manage? | Easier: trash, 'sentimentals', paper (we're digitalising everything now). Harder: things I got on sale and are still good/craft supplies that I paid a lot for. I just cannot get over the fact that just because something is useful, it doesn't mean that it's useful for me here and now. I just tend to keep it 🙁 |
| Think about the person in your life who’s had the most impact on your decluttering and organizing, or the person whose own clutter creates the most impact on you. This may be a spouse, partner, roommate, child, parent, another member of your household, or someone outside your household or family. How have this person’s ideas, attitudes, and behaviors around clutter—or the way their stuff affects you—changed over the course of your relationship? | nah, just myself to blame, I live alone. But it helped when I lived with my sister - she is into fashion and she was able to help me too, make good choices. Sometimes she made me throw out things (e.g. awesome but cluttering packing material). |
| If you could ask for one small change in someone else’s behavior that would improve the state of your home, what would it be? | I'd ask myself to get down to working on my hobbies and stop buying too many clothes just because they're inexpensive and high quality. |
