Survey #267—Full Response from Sandra
| Describe ways in which aging has negatively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home. | The passage of time greatly helps: things that have sat unused for 10 or even 20 years can go. When I was younger that was always a "what if?" in the back of my mind that made it easier to keep everything. |

| Describe ways in which getting older has positively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home. | We can learn from mistakes made by the previous generation! I have an agreement with a friend that, if I ever say no to someone who tells me the rugs need to go, she can pull them from under my feet and throw everything away. Her mom and my MIL both tripped on rugs and yet never got rid of them. It's still a joke for now but you never know. |
| 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 want to avoid a house full of things that come with daily/weekly/monthly maintenance tasks. That to me is freedom, something that is not achievable when you have a busy family and work life. |
