As long as you do it and see the benefit from it does the word your mind settles on really matter? Written/spoken language never seems to encompass thought all that well. The human race has found this out due to long sad experience.

When my granny used to hear a new word she would say "well, there is just a word for everything isn't there"
Our favorite quote of hers LOL
I am a goals type person so I wanted a word to keep on my goals list LOL
But "simplifying" works...
Decluttering is the top of the agenda for me. I recently retired and we also recently moved from a 2800 sq ft house with tons of closets to a 1700 sq ft one with only a few. We donated some things, the kids took things with them when they moved yet we still need to get rid of things. Some of the things have value but others do not. The items of deceased family members (as well as items children did not take with them )that had been stored in the basement in our older home have no place in our new one and the time has finally come to go through the painful process of deciding what to do with it.
A big tag sale is planned for the spring as well as selling some things on line and making more donations.
I will feel much better when I can walk through the basement, the garage, and the shed without tripping over things I have never or seldom use anymore.
When I moved I ended up having a few months between selling one house and buying the other,
so I had everything I owned in storage.
When I closed on my new house I moved only the furniture and minimum necessities at first.
Turns out that doing that helped me realize how amazing it felt.
Now I am going through the rest of the boxes and have been very strict, if I don't use it or love it, out it goes...
I have found it easier to purge by never bring it in the house vs removing stuff once it is in the house.
