Good ideas but didn't quite hit the mark for me when comparing it to Declutter Like A Mother by Allie Casazza read earlier this year. Just different perspectives and goals- stuff overload vs. preparing to move.

I really like a lot of his ideas for decluttering your life, bc he examines the emotions behind why it‘s so tough letting go of stuff, and discovering what is really important to keep. And it‘s a different reason for each person…

AnnCrystal I am a fan of tiny houses, but I'm not sure I could ever downsize so drastically LOL. Oh, dear...I really should try. 9mo
Eggs @AnnCrystal It can be a scary process but apparently it‘s essential for moving forward 😱 9mo
AnnCrystal @Eggs I've heard it reduces stress, and simplifies day to day life. (edited) 9mo
