AARP South Florida Volunteers Host Workshop on Downsizing and Decluttering for Healthier, Happier Homes

AARP South Florida volunteers joined together at the Pride Center in Wilton Manors this week to host a Downsizing and Decluttering Workshop for individuals seeking to clear out unwanted items from their homes. During the workshop, AARP shared valuable organizing tips and discussed how streamlining belongings can lead to increased happiness, reduced stress, and greater productivity.

AARP's tips on decluttering included:

• How to start your decluttering and organizing journey

• Practical advice on organizing and decluttering

• The positive impacts of better organization on daily life

Clutter can negatively affect our anxiety levels, sleep, and ability to focus. It can also reduce productivity, leading to coping and avoidance behaviors. By participating in this workshop, attendees learned how to mitigate these issues through effective decluttering and organization.
