Survey #262—Full Response from Kathy
| 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 dug out an old sewing machine to finally donate that I'd been saving as a backup for years. I tried to get it to work and realized some internal component was broken. My reality check is that when I hang on to useful items in case of "some day I might need this," they degrade over time and become useless to anyone. It would be better to get them back into circulation so others can use them while they are still good. |

| 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. | Episode 259, Not a Museum: Making Touch Choices About Collections really resonated with me. I had never seen my craft supply as a collection before. I love museums and had recently visited one, so I had a good mental picture of what a museum is for versus what I want my sewing room to be for (usable, creative space). I plan to relisten and take notes as there was so much in it for me to think about as I work to let go of a lot of the stash that I'll never be able to use in my lifetime but that others could use and enjoy now. Thank you for that episode (and all your episodes)! |
