11 Japanese Decluttering Regrets People Only Feel After 60

The biggest decluttering regrets aren't about what people let go of. They're about what they held on to, and how long they waited. Japan, with one of the oldest populations in the world, has thought about this more than almost anywhere, and it gave rise to shūkatsu: calmly preparing your life and home for your later years. In this video, you'll learn 11 decluttering regrets many people only feel after 60, and exactly how to avoid each one. From waiting for a crisis and paying to move things you didn't need, to staying in a house that no longer fits, not telling the stories behind your treasures, the fall that clutter caused, messy paperwork and passwords, and wishing you had started sooner. You'll also learn about Japan's barrier-free homes, the "ending note" notebook, the custom of katami wake, seizen seiri, and a simple 3-question test you can use on anything in your home.
