| Describe ways in which aging has negatively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home. | “I have a lower tolerance for clutter, but less energy to deal with it.” Consequently, I want to spend more time now doing things I want to do. Also, I've just returned from the ER and hospital with heart problems. I have even less motivation to declutter. |
| Describe ways in which getting older has positively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home. | If not now, when? That's my attitude now. I've put off doing things because I felt I should clean house first. You know, you've got to eat your lima beans before you get dessert. Well, if not now, when? |
| Describe ways in which you’d like for your space and belongings to better support your goals and dreams for the next years of your life. | I keep a journal. That is, I kind of do and then life gets busy. But on every New Year's resolution I've entered lose weight, get fit, and give away the junk. I mean going back decades. Am I to the point that I'll allow myself the luxury to hire help? Old voices say I, personally, should be able to keep house and then have the freedom to do what I want. What if I've waited too long? What would be wrong with acknowledging that and helping another woman in a different stage of life feed her family, say, and hire her to help me? |
