| 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? | I have now achieved a relatively clutter free house as our children are long gone. But clutter is so subjective isn’t it. My treasures, his clutter. |
| What lessons could you learn from your former way of managing your space that might help with your current way of dealing with clutter? | Past self saw things in terms of storage rather than the objects within. Storage =good allowed me to ignore an excess of possessions =bad. It genuinely didn’t occur to me to try and consciously reduce what I owned, apart from the turnover generated by fashion changes and the changing needs of children. Seems odd to look back in it. |
| 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? | Three days or more, I unpack, if the area is clean and easily accessed. Fewer days than that I keep things in the case. Depends if I am touring or making one stop only. Repeated unpacking is boring. I pack very lightly these days. It’s usually pretty easy to see what I have, this is especially the case if there is an ELEVATED SURFACE to place my bag on. Hotels please take note. Those luggage racks they often provide don’t accommodate a clamshell style cases when open That makes all the different. (And there is always only one!) Scratching around in my case at floor level is the pits! |
| Please select whichever of the following statements best describes your current wardrobe: | I wear a relatively small number of items of clothing on a regular basis but also possess many items of clothing that I don’t wear much. |
