It's April, and Spring has sprung, as they say. Time to engage in a healthy bit of spring cleaning. For inspiration, dip into the latest publishing trend ... downsizing! The idea has been around for ages, but getting rid of clutter really grabbed the public's imagination in 2014, when author Marie Kondo's out-of-left-field bestseller The Life-changing Magic of Tidying up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing was first published. Since then, several more related books have been become popular, including the latest, The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and your Family From A Lifetime of Clutter, by Margareta Magnusson.
