| Describe a situation in which someone successfully assisted you with a decluttering or organizing project. What factors contributed to the success of the collaboration? | A young relative (25 yes younger than me) came over to see which of the things I had put aside for donating could be sold for profit. I told her we' d split the profit. She took most of it, asked what if it didn't sell. I said "donate it all". It helped that she pushed me to search for more things, and she took it out of the home. |
| Describe a situation in which you asked for help with decluttering or organizing, but were unsatisfied with the results. What factors contributed to your dissatisfaction? | I asked my DH. (He is almost always reluctant.) He said he couldn't find things after I reorganized some closets. I put big labels on, left it on for 6 months. For years after this, he still complained. 🙁 I still have to tell him where things are! ...there are more stories like this... but I'll just have to live with this aspect. |
| Describe a situation in which you successfully assisted someone else with a decluttering or organizing project. What factors contributed to the success of your efforts? | I helped sort all the photos for my MIL. We made envelopes for her to give xtras to each relative, family friend. She was delighted. We spread out the work all over living room floor, and 2 tables; she didn't mind the initial mess, and it got done in 2 days! |
| Describe a situation in which you offered help with decluttering or organizing, but you didn’t achieve the desired results. What factors contributed to coming up short of success? | I tried to help DH when he retired and had to clear his office. It was difficult to stay on task, (for both of us.) It took 3 days instead of 2. He then went back a 4th day to finish up. And a 5th day. 3 summer holiday days wasted. 🙁 |
