I read an article recently that talked about the differences between baby boomers and millennials on the topics of decluttering and accumulation of “stuff” in the home. The article stated that the millennial generation is more minimalistic than previous generations and don’t experience an attachment to the things they own. Baby boomers, on the other hand, have generations of family heirlooms, antiques, and often have an emotional attachment to their things.

I challenge this.

Did you know that the greatest barrier to getting more organized is your mindset?

It’s not the stuff we have, it’s the feelings that we associate with the stuff. It’s the stories we’ve created about why they are important and why we can’t do it ourselves.
