Survey #262—Full Response from Lela
| 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 realized last year that I always felt tired & overloaded because all my hobbies involved taking care of living things, which can be demanding. So, I simplified the yard, decluttered 2/3 of my houseplants, & got rid of my aquarium. My dog passed away last week, also, & I do not plan to adopt another dog. It feels like I have a lot less chores now, but I think that is partly because if a chore does not involve a living thing, it is easier to procrastinate on doing the chore. |
|---|---|
| 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. | I wanted to live lighter after seeing family members deal with a lifetime of items left behind after loved ones passed away. |
