Survey #279—Full Response from Anja

← Go back

November 1, 2025

PronounsShe/her
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 is least cluttered now although there were times when I had less room and consequently less stuff. A lot of clutter had been because of working from home and having a home office as a teacher. That was definetely circumstancial and never an excuse. I had actuelly not enough time and brain power then. Circumstances do matter as well as actions. I would never phrase a statement like the one above. I do not think I use excuses mostly but reflect on what I can do and how my circumstances can be changed by me. Very complicated issue but for me not a question of blame. That is just not how I look at things.
What lessons could you learn from your former way of managing your space that might help with your current way of dealing with clutter?Having less space to live in helps with less inventory. This is also part of the container concept. I am looking forward to a big enough but smaller 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 like unpacking things completely because that's more tidy and comfortable to me.
Please select whichever of the following statements best describes your current wardrobe:I own a large wardrobe and wear a great variety of clothing on a regular basis.
Future topics

How to curate your life. Meaning activities and social intercourse. What do I want and what am I able to do?
