Wow, Mary, that is some pretty impressive de-cluttering, especially after last doing it just a few months ago!
The past few days I've de-cluttered the area that I'm using as my home office (now that it looks like I'm going to be here longer...). It was mostly re-arranging, but I also trashed a few "why am I holding onto this?" things.

Jeannine, when DH & I watch the news these days, we are constantly trying to make out the names of the book titles on people's shelves! It is hard to find a good backdrop. Since my basement workout room is now also my home office, I have had to try to angle the computer where the light is best and where the view of exercise stuff is minimal!
Pam, I thought I saw that your place is up for sale--is the move back on? When I have filmed my YouTube yoga and meditation videos, I have made an effort to fix myself up a little more, although of course I'm still not wearing my usual professional clothing. Mary, I like seeing little details from people's homes in the backgrounds, like their artwork, a plant, or even a pet. I find it very humanizing!

Beth, our city condo is up for sale. It’s very small & right in the downtown core. Very busy there, harder to social distance, etc. So we are staying in our house about 2 hours away from the city. We had planned to move to the condo, sell this house, buy a smaller house in the city, & then sell the condo. With our DS2 back on the island for his medical residency, a major bonus as he could have ended up anywhere, the house is nicely situated between our two boys and big enough for family gatherings.
So....no move....

Ahh, Pam, I see. The pandemic has certainly wreaked havoc with many best-laid plans!

Does anyone have some advice to share on downsizing to move?
I'm still in the home I shared with my dad, but my goal is to move to a smaller place, elsewhere. So. Long distance move with a good bit of downsizing. I'm stuck at overwhelm, but have managed to completely clear out one bedroom and bathroom of everything that must go. Mostly I see that now as extra free space to use for temporary storage of stuff I want to keep long term while I clear out another section of the house.
