Survey #279—Full Response from Kim

| During what period of your adult life was your home the least cluttered? Can you identify anything you did differently then (versus now) that helped keep the space tidy? | My home has been the least cluttered when I have had sufficient (or surplus) space. I have lived in 450 square feet up to 2500+ square feet. Having ample space makes it possible to have a place for every item. I don't really agree with Gabriella's statement. I am a minimalist but there is a certain base amount of things that I need. If I don't have a drawer in my kitchen, where am I supposed to store my cutlery and kitchen utensils (this has happened to me before!) |
| What lessons could you learn from your former way of managing your space that might help with your current way of dealing with clutter? | I get mentally taxed when I don't have enough space for my basic things. I learned that I must have enough space and so I moved to the other side of Canada where the real estate is a fraction of the price of Toronto. Now I have twice as much square footage (850+) -- enough space! |
| When you travel, do you prefer to unpack your bags completely in the hotel room or to live out of them so that nothing gets misplaced? What do you consider the pros and cons of either approach? | I unpack completely so I can see what I have. I have sometimes left things behind in hotel rooms -- my bad! Working on that... |
| Please select whichever of the following statements best describes your current wardrobe: | I don’t have a capsule wardrobe per se, but I own fewer than a hundred items of clothing and wear all or most of them. |
| Future topics | How can I effectively 'deal' with my electronic data? I am concerned that if I put it in the cloud, it could get hijacked or compromised -- not to mention storage fees. It's currently on a gazillion flash drives. Arrrrgh! |
