Thank you for your helpful and inspiring post. I am not a hoarder, but there are a lot of things I no longer need or use. Soon the local thrift shops will be the beneficiaries.
With each passing year there seems to be more paperwork. And recently my health insurance has started printing its statements in the finest print possible, smaller than anything I could produce. I´ve let them know that their effort to save paper is an effort that is causing problems. I appreciate your comment that sometimes it is the work ethic that needs adjustment. I, too, grew up in a family where work was never finished. But we all did stop at 8 pm so Mom could listen to "One Man's Family" on the radio.
