If I lost my home today to an unfortunate accident, as long as my family got out, i wouldn't have a care in the world. Not because i know I have insurance, but because we live so simply there is nothing of value in our home. Memories cant be lost, items can be replaced. Decluttering changed out lives.

[@micajahsmom]

I have only what is necessary. I could walk away with just my two cats and be perfectly happy. They are my most treasured companions. No need for anything else.

[@hanskloss1331]

food for your cats , something to carry them in or do they walk on a leash ? 🤔

[@micajahsmom]

@@hanskloss1331 i have a pet stroller and harnesses and leashes. I live in hurricane evac zone a...the first to leave when a storm is coming so i bought the stroller several years ago. We evaced last year and also the year before so we are ready. I have a backpack with a few things in it and room for their food and a collapsible litter box.

my drawers/cupboards/closets are full of stuff and clutter..... maybe I use 3% of all my posessions. I am now unemployed, (so I have unlimited time) and I have started to sell and donate from all my stuff, but it's advancing quite slow. Any advice for me ?

[@SuperPenguin5495]

I am doing this with my grandma who has 3 generations of stuff in her house. A lot of it cannot and will not get used. Ever. Come to grips with that first. Second, focus on clothing - and how to donate it. You won't get even a fraction of what you paid for it. Third, Books that you haven't read in years or those magazines you'll "get to" Fourth, kitchen items that you don't use - put on craigslist free section as "Curb alert : pickup" Fifth, this will all take time and you'll constantly feel you wasted so much money. however the mental weight that will Be relieved is truly priceless. Trying to nickel and dime or sell stuff will only make it take longer. give it to friends and family for free

Slowly but surely.

I think I am now on my 3rd iteration. This might sound rather depressing to someone how's doing their first iteration, but knowing that your home doesn't have to be perfect at first try. I also started at some point just throwing stuff away in trash since things were moving too slowly.

I found writing down a few prompts for when for I naturally get stuck with a decision helps. So something like "Where should 'this' be? clears away some of the confusion and emotional energy. Likewise begin one small area or drawer at a time and dispose of the broken, out dated and worn out things. If you really need them make a note to repalce them when you can. Just collecting things of a similar type temporarily like bills, socks or DVD's in a box can help batch the latter decisions on what to do with them. Finally, even a simple thing like a pen or a book can throw me sometimes. Then I get out a notepad and literallyt describe what the thing is and its function and what it means to me or function I have it for. This often interrupts the stuckness. As someone else commented this isn't a one and done job but more of a shift in a paradigm. From "keep everything, just in case" to "how does this help, or hinder, my life"
