Do you have a “catch-all” room? A place where all the random things tend to end up? It is a tough area to clear out because these are things you couldn’t make a decision on in the first place! if you had a fire and everything in the room burned, which things would you go out and purchase again? Ask yourself for each item and I guarantee you will be successful in your decluttering. 🤩

I love the idea of Swedish Death Cleaning, but one thing I do find hard is the emphasis on passing things on to family. We don't have any children (or nephews or nieces) and my husband and I are both the youngest in our families, so it can be hard to know what to do with old family papers. I have found a couple of history societies that are interested in some of our family diaries and letters, so this is maybe something to consider for those who don't have family to give these things to. I've recently finished going through photos, and I've cut down five crates of pictures to one and a quarter crates. Now, I am going through my digital photos every few weeks and saving the favourites into a 'for printing' online folder. They sit in that folder for a year and at the end of the year, I go through them again and delete ruthlessly. I used to print maybe 400 photos a year that all went into albums, but now it's about 50 a year! (One other note regarding photos - please don't use the self-adhesive or 'magnetic' albums as the adhesive can damage the photos over time - I had to start with my earliest photos when I decluttered, as I found that some of them were starting to get yellow streaks on them as the adhesive in the album stained the backs of the photos. Either use albums with pockets or acid-free photo dots/corners and a paper album) P.S. the video you link was the one that brought me to this channel - I was so touched by your empathy, kindness and encouragement in that video that I didn't even notice any issue with the sound, so it can't have been that bad!

Janell here. Last year when I first heard of swedish death cleaning, I was thinking about memorabilia because I had 3 huge bins filled with manilla envelopes with each of the 40 years since we've been married! After talking to my only daughter about what she would like to see after I am gone, I took quite a while to go through each year, sometimes with my husband, and actually journal that year and keep only a few items in a clear bag with the journal page. It's all in 1 bin with room for more years. I have photo scrapbooks up to date since I have retired. My daughter doesn't do scrapbooking, she says I'm taking care of that for her and her family 😂.

I took some pics of the other years’ pages. Swedish death cleaning is very effective. I have been putting this into practice over the last few years (I’m 55 right now) and I have gotten rid of so much! My mom did NOT do this before she died and it was such a burden on my siblings and myself. I’m not going to do that to my kids. We each have a small memory box and that’s enough. I still have more categories I’m always working on especially my parents’ stuff that I struggle to part with. But I’m strengthening my decluttering muscles all the time. I’ve also been through all my photos 😳. Huge job that has taken year. I had all scanned (probably 10,000) and am now organizing digitally). So worth it to know that they are preserved. I’ve also curated the physical ones. Through many away and organized what was left by year

So I was going back and forth about keeping this sheet. I realized though that (1) I have enough pillowcases for now (2) the sheet is very thin, it has some holes and the edges are stringy and (3) I’ve had this sheet for almost 25 years. I think it’s time to put it in the trash. Lol. Enjoyed your video. I have a question for you though: “extra” artwork? If you have no place to hang it, what are you keeping it for?

I can’t wait to hear your thoughts!! I do want to say that, as a Christian, I do not curse at all. My children found the video quite funny because they have never heard me swear. So, part of this video was being able to accurately quote the author of this book, knowing that I was indeed quoting and not swearing in my heart. The other part was using the thumbnail as a joke because anyone who knows me, knows I do not use bad language. I truly hope I have not offended in any way. 😊🙏🏼💛

You look so darling in all the clothes- but it was such an interesting perspective to watch on video, I know you weren't watching a video, but we were and I wonder if that's a strategy that would work for me to do to myself too? I can't wait to start on my closet!

Thanks for watching and for your input! 😊 I think I’m going to do the financial binder in January and possibly do an organizing series that month!!

Ruthless- that's going to be so hard, but I am so preferring to have the calm space vs. the things I never use!!

A great goal!! I think it’s reasonable to have an out-of-the-way spot for some seasonal things. My goal is to never put things in a spare bedroom. It’s very common to have clients who completely fill their kids bedrooms when they move out! I see how natural it would be to do that, but I am going to fight against it! 😂

I just decluttered my 2 junk drawers and threw away 95 items!! 1,000 items could go fast with drawers like these! I am so motivated to have a spot for everything- I have never even thought about creating a spot for things like: to be fixed, to be returned, rubber bands! Tidying looks so fast and easy! Hoping my 2 drawers stay better for a long time!

I've never heard of "fantasy self", but I literally just put one of my past hobby items back on the shelf and it came to mind when watching this video!! It needs to be donated for someone who could enjoy it now!
