Survey #282—Full Response from Peggy
| Describe a situation in which someone successfully assisted you with a decluttering or organizing project. What factors contributed to the success of the collaboration? | My husband and daughter removed a large table to outdoors. It now shelters feral cats from precipitation. The place where the large table used to live now holds a smaller, easily moveable table with a shelf and drawer. I could not have lifted this table myself. |

| 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? | Sometimes I have tried to get family members I live(d) with to go through categories of things and they have fought it or hung onto most of it. |
| 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? | A few years ago I helped my daughter declutter several areas of her place. I carted away the things she was willing to part with, washed them as necessary, and donated. Daughter is very busy with work and her kids, so my offers gave her a chance to do some decluttering without having to do it all herself. |
| 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? | My daughter has loosened her grip on many things over the years but when I first started helping her, she resisted. |
