Alongside the container rule set a few decide-once rules to cut decisions: only keep cords that match a device you currently own, duplicates must beat your favorite to stay, and sentimental paper gets a photo then goes. Work in 15-minute sprints with three bags: trash, donate, relocate; stop when the timer ends and put the donate bag by the door. For unsure items, use a quarantine box dated 30–60 days out - if you never open it, donate it unopened. Then switch to one-in-one-out so it stays manageable.

I’d lean toward a dedicated non WiFi video monitor that uses FHSS with sound activation (VOX); they’re usually more reliable through floors than app-based ones. Mount the camera near the nursery door and keep antennas vertical put the parent unit high and a few feet from your router or microwave, and lower screen brightness so VOX can wake it without killing battery. For extra peace of mind, run a simple DECT audio monitor alongside the video so you’ll still hear her if the video link ever blips.

I'm in my early seventies and struggled the same way until I switched to a mid sized e-reader with a matte e-paper screen and a warm front light... The key for me was a 7 inch screen, 300 ppi resolution and and the ability to crank the font way up and add weight to it and... with those settings I can sit on the porch in full sun without glare and read at night with the warmth turned up so the light feels gentle. If you keep the budget under 150,, look for a recent device that offers adjustable warmth, bold font options, and high resolution e-paper. Set brightness to around 30 to 40 during the day, warmth around halfway after sunset, and choose a heavy serif font with wider line spacing. Works great.
