Survey #257—Full Response from Jessica
| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| 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”? | I have a much lower threshold since becoming a mum. |
| 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? | I found that decluttering for myself gets easier as time goes by. For example, I found categories like clothing/makeup/skincare got much easier as I learnt what I liked and can now maintain a pretty steady inventory. But with kids’ things, it’s the opposite! They’re constantly growing out of or into things, so there’s this ongoing cycle of needing, buying, and managing stuff - it's much easier for things to accumulate. |
| 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? | - |
| 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? | To complete actions all the way themselves indtead of half doing them (for me to finish). |
| Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s). If we think that your question—and our answer—might be useful or instructive to The Clutter Fairy Weekly audience, we’ll share them in an upcoming episode. | Do you have any tips for managing the constant flow of kids’ items—clothes, toys, gear? |
| Future topics | Clutter and mental health - eg. I have heard there are links to clutter and womens health. Kid related clutter. |
