The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning

An excellent way to decide whether an item should be thrown away or kept is by asking two questions about it.
The first one is the obvious one: “Will I ever need this?”
The second one becomes more important with every day you’re nearing to your death “Will anyone I know be happier if I save this?”
If you don’t know the answer to the second question, invite your loved ones and ask them in person. Thus, decluttering becomes a great way to bond with them.
However, don’t ever forget:
You can always hope and wait for someone to want something in your home, but you cannot wait forever, and sometimes you must just give cherished things away with the wish that they end up with someone
who will create new memories of their own.

“The only thing we know for sure is that one day we will die. But before that, we can do anything.” -Margareta Magnusson
We are surrounded by abundance, so it is so easy to gather more than we need, this often manifests as clutter. Clutter often gives most of us anxiety. So clearing the extra can have a calming effect on our lives and our spaces. We are literally making space for a better life.
