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!

On Death Cleaning.



For me number 8 would be the perfect banana how about you?

Here is an interesting article on 'Death Cleaning'. It means decluttering before you go. Some see it as a responsibility, not leaving the burden of your possessions behind for others to clean up.  I asked my daughter to consider getting me 'The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning' by Margareta Magnusson as described in the article.
