How "the cleaning of Swedish death" banks the clutter forever

All you need to know about the excessive trend.


Remember when everyone threw things that did not bring you any joy "thanks to the best-seller 2014 of Marie KondoThe changing magic of storage life?Well, it's almost 2018, so it's hard for a new deception trend that promises to magically infuse your life with tranquility and the goal of choosing the right organization of your home.

Enter the cleaning of Swedish death.

It's not so morbid as it sounds. According to Margareta Magnusson, author of the new book,"The sweet art of Swedish death cleaning: how to make your loved ones from the life of your loved ones and your life more pleasant,"What communicate in January in January, the Scandinavian trend simply asks you to get rid of everything you think that people will not want you will not want to die, which makes your life less messy and the life of your less complicated relatives Once you pass.

"Visit [your] storage areas and start getting out of what is there," she writes in the book. "Who do you think will take care of everything when you are no longer here ... One day Where you are no longer there, your family should take care of all that kind of thing, and I do not think it's right. "

The magnusson solution to this problem is a special type of Swedish trigger calledDöstädning,to do meaning "dead" andstädning meaning "cleaning". To do so, stop collecting things that you do not need and give everything unnecessary now.

The purpose of this exercise is triple.

First, it prevents your loved ones from having to crawl in your attic and determine what to do with these bizarre Aunt Jemima Sel and Pepper Shakers you inherited from your aunt Kooky. It's actually a problematic phenomenon thatThe New York Times Explored in an article from August 2017 entitled"Parents aged with many things and children who do not want it." Baby boomers have learned to accumulate homes of things, from China, Knick Knacks and refrigerator magnets of all the countries they have already visited - as a sign of social status, while millions of millennia Are value experiments on material objects and live in a time when minimalism is minimalism all rabies. This leaves families with a clumsy impasse, because no one wants to ask mom above dinner what she wants they do with her vast Beanie Baby collection once she is six feet under. But Magnusson argues that it is precisely one of the main advantages of death cleaning.

"We must all talk about death. If it's too difficult to solve, the cleaning of death can be a way to start the conversation," writes magnusson.

The second important result of this exercise is that it requires you to think of your own death. Although it may not seem happy, another way of looking is that this trigger method forces you to think about what suits you, who you are and what kind of inheritance you want to have. It's a kind of the #Carpediem approach to decompress: go through your business and do you think: "If I die tomorrow, is it something I want to leave behind?"

The third advantage of death cleaning is the concept that gets rid of unnecessary tricks will make you feel less stressed and more control. Psychologically, this argument has deserved,As studies have shown That people who spend money on experiences rather than material possessions feel happier and more fulfilled.

So why not try to try? After all, the only thing you need to lose are the things you do not really want anyway.
