I read it and agree with the principle. My relatives are dealing with this now. Unfortunately, their parents never downsized. I started decluttering a couple of months ago and it’s very liberating. I’m not a minimalist but I appreciate the aesthetic and air quality improvements that come with less belongings. Plus cleaning is a breeze.
I didn’t have a lot to toss and never had a stash to contend with. I plan my sewing projects and I’m applying a similar approach to quilting to alleviate excess.
