On Decluttering



Happy New Year 2019!

My daughter and her boyfriend got me this book as one of their gifts this year (I had suggested it). 'The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning' was a quick, enjoyable read. Author Margareta Magnusson describes herself as being 'between 80 and one hundred'. She shares her wisdom with us, urges us to take responsibility for our clutter before we die rather than leave it to others. I am now encouraged to do some decluttering. Hopefully this doesn't go the way of many New Year's resolutions!

    Perhaps you could share some of the suggestions in the book with us.
    Have a happy, blessed 2019, Christine!

    Sounds like good advice, but I have some clutter that I love, so it's staying! Have a great start in the new year, hugs, Valerie

    I enjoy my clutter but as I age I realise I have to go through it regularly and let some of it go.
    Have a great year my friend.

    I would have a hard time letting go of my treasures...I would never call it clutter :) Besides, I might throw away something that one of my family members wanted. So I will just keep my clutter...I mean my treasures safe in their cupboards, on their shelves and in their containers.
    Happy New Year Christine~

    This morning I am going through photos and getting rid of old notes and such. My sister's death has prompted me to get rid of things that no one would want should I be gone in a moment.
