Survey #279—Full Response from Jacqueline

← 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?I am least cluttered now than I have ever been. I grew up in a very cluttered home, and never learned about daily or routine maintenance or resets. Cleaning was something we did before a holiday, event or party, not on a regular basis. I like my space best when it is clean and tidy, but when I bought my own house, I didn’t know how to keep it that way and it was constantly messy, despite the fact that I expended huge amounts of time and effort trying to keep it clean. What finally worked for me was doing daily stuff and not saving up cleaning and tidying to do as a weekend project.
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 think it depends on the type of trip. If I am staying in the same place for a week or more it makes sense to unpack but if I am moving from place to place I won’t unpack more than toiletries.
Please select whichever of the following statements best describes your current wardrobe:Other
Please elaborate if you wish.

I have a decent amount of clothes and I try not to keep anything that I don’t wear. I do wear uniforms to work, so many days I go directly from pjs to work uniforms back to pjs so I don’t get to wear a lot of my clothes as much as I would like.
