Cancer survivorship and household clutter seem to clump together sometimes. As cancer survivors, we often feel short on energy and short on time. At the same time, our perspective on “stuff” has changed. Since cancer, do you feel like you have an overaccumulation? Do you find yourself thinking more about your mortality or maybe just downsizing because “stuff” just isn’t as important as it seemed before cancer?
Reducing clutter can be challenge regardless of whether you are a cancer survivor or not. Consider weeding out while you are healthy enough and able enough, and not under a time crunch. Cancer survivors are all too aware of how health issues suddenly can happen.
Clear clutter now to create the time and energy to do what you enjoy. Now is the time. Purge clutter to free up time and energy to pursue your priorities. Are you ready to share and pass some things on to others?
