August 11, 2025

PronounsShe/her
Describe ways in which aging has negatively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home.I look at a messy area and no longer think it's a challenge. I've decluttered for many years and know how much time and effort it takes to get a room to the point of me being comfortable in it. I have other things I would rather spend my time doing.
Describe ways in which getting older has positively affected your ability, willingness, or desire to declutter or organize your home.I realize that it's ok to do a little bit here and there, that I can spend a small amount of time, more often, decluttering. I no longer think that I need to put in long hours and complete the decluttering as soon as possible. And I've learned that "good enough" is better than "perfect."
Describe ways in which you’d like for your space and belongings to better support your goals and dreams for the next years of your life.I would like to be able to declutter down to the things I use or get enjoyment out of so that if I decide to move or need to move for health reasons, it won't be a bigger project than it needs to be. Sentimental things hang me up as well as shared items with my husband as that would take both of us deciding what to declutter.
Future topics

How to have a conversation with your spouse/partner about decluttering shared areas when they say clutter doesn't bother them.
