Survey #262—Full Response from C
| Describe a reality check you’ve experienced as you’ve worked to declutter and organize your home—a moment when you realized that your ideas about stuff were at odds with the reality of your life. | I own a lot of tools and supplies (I bought or saved) for projects I’ll probably never realize. I keep thinking one day I will start on it, years go by and stuff is still in bins or boxes. One example: lots of cardboard egg boxes for a paper maché idea. Another: old maps to cover shoe boxes to turn them into gift boxes. |

| Please share an “Aha!” moment you’ve experienced as you’ve worked to declutter and organize your home—an inspiration or flash of clarity that made the work easier or less emotionally challenging. | Aha sad moment: realising that many of the children's books I bought or saved for future grandchildren won't be fulfilling this hope. Am now slowly giving these away to other relatives and friends that have small children and grandchildren. Same for many of the toys I saved. |

I keep sabotaging my efforts. Distracting myself, doing other things instead of sorting to declutter. |
