My adult children moved back home. I didn't expect to enjoy it this much. Original
There's a world of difference between raising a teenager and cohabiting with a verified adult. But sometimes they need to come back home, just like mine did. My own kids were eager to get out of the house and set up their own homes. Right now I'm sharing space with a mid-20s kid who is desperately trying to accumulate enough money to move into her own apartment. Despite her desire to be on her own, we get along beautifully and enjoy one another's company.
I'm a professional declutterer. Even I struggle to let go of books. Original
Some decluttering tasks are more emotionally charged than others, and paring down your library may be one of those. Loading audio narration... Look, I know you love your books. They're like members of your family; the idea of sending any of them to the thrift store, book sale, or even Tiny Library seems akin to sending Aunt Emily off on a Greyhound to nowhere. But would you set Aunt Emily on a shelf and then forget to talk to her or even look at her for years on end? Of course not.

I'm a professional declutterer. I help people decide when to get rid of their collections, even if it's difficult.
As a professional declutterer I help my clients get rid of things they don't want or need anymore. Some people love collecting things, but it can quickly turn into clutter. It's much harder to get rid of multiple objects you've collected than just one.

I'm a Gen Xer who hated working with baby boomers. I love working for millennials because they view work differently.
I left the workforce years ago because I struggled to connect with baby boomers in the workplace. As a Gen Xer, I now work with millennials and love it. Millennial bosses understand that personal issues come up and work can't always come first. In my early 40s, I did something revolutionary: I got a full-time job. I'd been self-employed for over a decade, but the siren song of paid benefits was too strong to ignore. Within hours of starting in my new position, it became clear that I was an anomaly.
