Döstädning is a Swedish term that refers to the practice of clearing out clutter and simplifying your home. Unlike other decluttering methods - such as the Marie Kondo approach - döstädning focuses on making things easier for your loved ones. By trimming down your belongings before you die, you spare your family and friends the distress of sorting through a lifetime of possessions while they’re grieving.

I don’t have children to consider if I pass away but think when I declutter and make space it is therapeutic as it makes the room easier and quicker to clean as I don’t look forward to doing housework. I am thinking of moving and having fewer possessions will make the process less stressful. I also have asthma so less clutter means less dust!
