The Swedish word döstädning literally translates to "death cleaning," and the idea behind it is simple—declutter and organize your belongings so someone else doesn't have to do it when you're gone! As the charming Swedish author Margareta Magnusson (who is "somewhere between eighty and one hundred years old") explains, it's never too soon to start, and the process can and should be enjoyable, not morbid. Offering a wealth of advice on everything from broaching difficult conversations with family members to preparing to downsize to finding joy in letting go, Magnusson's cheerful and funny little primer is uplifting, inspiring, and essential!
