| Pronouns | She/her |
|---|---|
| Describe a situation in which someone successfully assisted you with a decluttering or organizing project. What factors contributed to the success of the collaboration? | I've only used Youtubers to assist me in decluttering. Their thoughtful commentary on a wide variety of topics helped me understand what type of clutter was holding me back, how to let go and the benifits of owning just enough stuff. |
| 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 haven't asked anybody, my fear is they will judge or force me to get rid of stuff. |
| 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 often help my adult daughter. We talk it out until she reaches a decision. I'm always encouraging her efforts! I will offer to take the donations with me and drop it off. I've also helped one friend clean out her attic and organize the remaining items. She was ready to let go. |
| 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? | Often there is shame regarding our abundant belongings and the lack of function of our homes Up front I say I don't judge, I'm offering a helpful.hand to get the stuff they no longer need, out of the home. One other, more my age, friend is very resistant to letting go eventhough she says she has too much. She gets ovewhelmed easily and has knee problems. I do collect medium size boxes from work for her, as requested. She will do a little bit on her own. |
| Future topics | It's been discussed before, I struggle with keeping my second bedroom clutter free. It functions as my craftroom, I mainly sew and craft, it also functions as my office. It ends up being a dumping ground for unmade decisions. |
