Every day, I help older adults and families make decisions about aging in place at home or making a move. So many times, dealing with their ‘stuff’ is a higher priority than making a best housing choice while they can. I created this challenge during the pandemic, so that my clients and I had something to do during fall 2020 lockdown, and now you can enjoy this challenge too!

Curious what some of the participants are saying?

“Even though I haven’t done the challenge I know I will be letting go of so much “stuff”. Just be reading the weekly challenge, I would see things while walking through the house and it would “click” that there is a place for that or not. There were many times I would see something and just get rid of it right then! Between things from my aunt’s home and things here, I have almost become on a first name basis with the donation people. LOL There were times I was there at least 3 times a week and some of the donations were from my home. I even went to the garage the other day and decided to get rid of MY box which was sitting behind my car. The things are gone but the empty box is there so I have something to put the next donation pile into…Thank you so much for this program! I will be starting it in earnest soon and I will be thanking you all along the way as I read your suggestions and realize I feel better when the “junk” or surplus items, are gone. THANK YOU!!”

“Do a bit at a time so it does not become overwhelming. The weekly challenge is helpful in that way and helps to focus on one thing at a time rather than all of it at once…The crawl space, basement storage, and garage will be the hardest. Deciding what to keep, what to store in a storage facility, and want to ‘get rid of’ will be hardest. The suggestions for places to donate will be much appreciated.”

“Just wanted to let you know that I’m still in the decluttering challenge! I’ve tackled most of the weeks (with a couple of notable exceptions), not always finishing but at least I’ve made some progress. And I’m getting some ideas about how to organize specific areas. I am finding your suggestions on where to donate gently used items especially helpful – one thing my generation, in our Seventies now, finds especially hard is the notion of things ‘going to waste’. I’m putting the challenges and donation lists in a binder so I can refer to them easily.”
