The article discusses the clutter individuals accumulate over time and introduces the concept of Norwegian Life-Cleaning, inspired by Maggie Wallen Rowe. This philosophy emphasizes regular sorting and managing of possessions to avoid overwhelming loved ones after one's death. Unlike Swedish Death Cleaning, which is reserved for people at the end of life, Norwegian Life-Cleaning encourages a continuous process of decluttering, allowing people to reflect on what truly matters and ensuring their belongings are easier to sort through later. The practice aims to foster mindfulness towards ownership and simplify life's management.
Norwegian Life-Cleaning encourages people to systematically manage their possessions in daily life rather than waiting until later, promoting a minimalist and thoughtful approach to ownership.
As we collect items, the responsibility of these belongings eventually falls onto others after we pass, making the practice of decluttering necessary for our loved ones.
Embracing Norwegian Life-Cleaning means understanding our possessions hold significance; by decluttering actively, we make life's maintenance easier on ourselves and those we leave behind.
This practice helps individuals make mindful decisions about their belongings while encouraging ongoing reflection on what truly adds value to life.
