Hand Me Downs: Inheriting Clutter and Avoiding a Clutter Legacy of Your Own

Online

How do we declutter the special kinds of stuff that come to us from our parents and other relatives, and how can we manage our own collections so that our children, surviving spouses, and other loved ones aren’t burdened with more than they can handle when our time comes?

We’ll meet using the Zoom.us video-conferencing app, a free tool that allows us to share a conversation as streaming video and take questions from the audience.

Lessons I’ve (re)Learned from Being My Own Client (Meetup)

Nature Discovery Center 7112 Newcastle St., Bellaire, TX, United States

Sooner or later, most of us find ourselves dealing with the stuff left behind by loved ones. Our Houston Clutter Coaching Meetup Group leader, Gayle Goddard, is deep in the process of handling her mother’s estate right now. For our May 2015 meetup, she’ll offer some of the lessons she’s learned—or relearned—from the experience of being both the organizer and the client on this emotionally challenging project. She’ll share her first-hand experiences and suggest ways to make this process easier for yourself, your spouse, your parents, and your children or other loved ones.
