Your boxes of photos, family's china, and even the kids' height charts
aren't just stuff; they're attached to a lifetime of memories--and
letting them go can be scary. With empathy, expertise, and humor, Keep
the Memories, Lose the Stuff, written in collaboration with AARP, helps
you sift through years of clutter, let go of what no longer serves you,
and identify the items worth keeping so that you can focus on living in
the present.
For over 20 years, Matt Paxton has helped people from all walks of life
who want to live more simply declutter and downsize. As a featured
cleaner on Hoarders and host of the Emmy-nominated Legacy List with
Matt Paxton on PBS, he has identified the psychological roadblocks that
most organizational experts routinely miss but that prevent so many of
us from lightening our material load. Using poignant stories from the
thousands of individuals and families he has worked with, Paxton brings
his signature insight to a necessary task.
Whether you're tired of living with clutter, making space for a loved
one, or moving to a smaller home or retirement community, this book is
for you. Paxton's unique, step-by-step process gives you the tools you
need to get the job done.
