End of life, separation

I am in my 70s, but I hear that some people are already preparing for end-of-life planning in their 50s.

In my case, I created a Family Living Trust when I was in my 60s.

We are now considering purchasing a living grave.

One tricky thing is the separation.

This is the only thing that does not go smoothly. I guess it would be better if I just throw it away, but...

My husband has the can't-throw-it-away syndrome, which is compounded by me. The garage is so full of unimportant things that there is no room to step on

. We also have 5 fruit trees in the backyard that are not very big

and the trees are so tall that we have to cut them down on a ladder, but I'm afraid they will fall off the trees one day...

I would like to hear from people who are doing life-supporting activities and decluttering.

Thank you very much.

Don't be fooled by the word "decluttering. You will end up throwing away things you need and having to buy more.

I get all kinds of gifts from wedding gifts to birthdays, but once the fun of opening them is over, most of them are disposable. Returning gifts is also a hassle, to be honest, and I can't say I don't want a gift after I buy it.

Discarding is difficult.
It is up to the person to discard or not.

I used to look for things ＾ ＾ ： a lot.

So I named my suitcase a temporary storage place, and

I would throw in things I couldn't do without. Before, when I wanted to use it, I used to spend 2 ， 3 days

searching all over the room, but now I just go to the temporary storage

and I don't have to stress about searching. ＾ ＾

Konmari's decluttering method was also popular, but look for mentalist Daigo's book on decluttering.
The science-oriented way of thinking seemed to suit me and I was able to step away from it.

I don't know if this will help you, but I have moved a lot, and every time I moved, I suffered from packing and threw away things I couldn't bear to throw away, and I thought I would suffer that pain again when I bought things. I have learned to choose the minimum necessary items carefully.

＃ Mr. 26

＞ You don't have to go to the trouble of leaving your luggage at home ？
It makes no sense

I guess my words were not enough.


I don't mean that I leave it there somewhere, but in my own suitcase in my own house.

That's what we call temporary storage, （ lol ）

If you store them in boxes or clear plastic boxes,
write down what you put in them and put them on the box for easy identification.
It is easy to see even if they are stacked in a closet.
If you have a computer, you can write
living room, bedroom, closet and other storage locations in Excel, etc.
Write the contents and make a list
so you can open Excel and see where the items you need are stored. It is convenient to know where the needed items are stored as soon as you open the Excel file.

＃ I agree with 28 Trauma. The good thing about decluttering is that it has changed the way I shop since then. When I was shopping
I started to think about what I really wanted to buy and whether I needed these things or not.
