Das Osterwochenende ist für mich immer eine gute Gelegenheit, mal wieder auszumisten. Leider geht es dieses Jahr nur schleppend voran. #frühjahrsputz #swedishdeathcleaning #ausmisten

Turns out #SwedishDeathCleaning is really tough if you're 1) not Swedish 2) very nostalgic for things/experiences/people 3) a multi-decade #expat with long-term storage in 3 countries. One day at a time here.

On a dark gray background speckled with black, white and lime green text reads: "Maybe Grandfather had ladies' underwear in his drawer and maybe Grandma had a dildo in hers. But what does that matter now? They are no longer among us; if we liked them, it really should be nothing for us to worry about. Let us each have our small preferences, as long as nobody gets hurt." - Margareta Magnusson, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning

"The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning" is genuinely one of the most charming books I've ever read. And for what it's worth, I found nothing even remotely this exciting when I was cleaning out my parents' stuff. What about you?

Dealing with a bit of a cold and working my way thru an elderly relative’s hoarding of religious ephemera and family secrets

Replying to @meggiemess what is a Swedish Death Cleaning ? #MikeyTheDeathDoula #DeathDoula #DeathEducator #swedishdeathcleaning

My abandoned #SwedishDeathCleaning is renewed, with multiple donations to my local pet rescue thrift shop scheduled.

Less is more. #SwedishDeathCleaning

100%

Not the best name (for marketing/PR)… but check out #SwedishDeathCleaning.

Essentially: we can’t take this shit with us… ⚰️😅😯

Dealt with the garage with some help yesterday, so much cardboard and other trash gone. Not done yet, but far easier to navigate and find things now. A couple more afternoons and it should be done.

I am through the two banker's boxes of paper, only one thick file to file into other files now. Over 250 pieces of paper to shred, and that's before I've sorted the rough files. This is feeling more manageable now. #Decluttering #SwedishDeathCleaning

200 pieces of paper to shred as of today, not including things recycled, trashed, filed or relocated. The second box is only 1/4 full now.
Of course, once I finish this bit, then we have to go through the files AGAIN together, but it's noticeably better. #Decluttering #SwedishDeathCleaning

Six long days and now a few hours of rest before sleep back in my own bed.

A 22oz bomber of Mikeller Mexas Ranger next to the only black pint in my kitchen.

Introducing the #haveimadeabigmistake series wherein the answer is generally yes. As I begin the process of #swedishdeathcleaning I find my forgotten cellared beers and post the highs and lows. I bought this circa when people just knew the beer and not the person. 1/2

Considering the collapse of all things, I am honoring my ancestors with some tossing out of stuff.
Conflict: keep all the cool analog printed materials in case modern digital communications technologies cease?

Also, need some quills? I got lots.

After searching/comparative shopping, I'm donating my Dad's film camera. The model isn't terribly rare, it's visibly scuffed and even the mint condition ones aren't going for much. Works, has the original packaging, will be a great find for a thrifter, I hope. #Decluttering #SwedishDeathCleaning

I bought a Pampered Chef pizza stone a thousand years ago, but I am not a fresh homemade pizza person. I bake frozen pizzas directly on the rack.
Despite all this, I'm having a hard time convincing myself it needs to go.
#SwedishDeathCleaning

Two closets organized, lots more crap donated, a pointlessly large mass of cardboard recycled. Productive day. I'm exhausted. #Decluttering #SwedishDeathCleaning

I'm #SwedishDeathCleaning - planning for that now when I've every intention of being around for another 30 years!

Something I love about decluttering is you get to a tipping point where it's small containable messes instead of overwhelming chaos and for me, once that happens, a lot of long-overdue neglected tasks and projects start getting done easily. #SwedishDeathCleaning #Decluttering

Sorted dining area/kitchen/cupboards today. Stuff organized, other stuff composted, dozens of homes found for things, tables/counters cleared, furniture moved, 4 garbage bags of stuff donated, trash trashed, landing zone created.
I am so sore. #Decluttering #SwedishDeathCleaning #HomeOrganizing

I've actually got my paperwork in order, and I'm in the middle of a #SwedishDeathCleaning to avoid being cursed by my loved ones in the afterlife.

Throwback to that time Ella Engstrom explained how she learned Swedish design display techniques. #EllaEngstrom #SwedishDeathCleaning

'Swedish death cleaning’ is the newest decluttering trend Go ahead. Clean your closet like there's no tomorrow.

A regret for me at 57 is not throwing myself into Swedish death cleaning or its equivalent when I was 37 instead of belatedly unloading the detritus of life that accumulated around me like the ash in Pompeii, because it's exhausting at this age. #swedishdeathcleaning #lateminimalism #dostädning

This morning I shredded a file from a car wreck 10 years ago. The only thing I miss are my bumper stickers. #bepreparedtoflee #keepfighting #swedishdeathcleaning
