PronounsShe/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”?Actually I have a much lower threshold for clutter since being disabled and having far less energy for daily life. Clutter is an obstacle for enjoying life so I like to get rid of a lot and buy far less and more practical stuff. Also things need to be easily accessible and light instead of heavy!
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?Decluttering needs to be a "no-mess-method" because of low energy level. Small steps are the key for me and asking people for help.
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?As I was abandoned by my husband in January 2025 I have only my stuff to deal with and that is a huge relief. I love having my best friend over to help me and to chat with.
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?As soon as I find a home for myself and my little dog I don't need to ask for any different behaviour. Very good.
