You’re at a time of your life when you are ready to simplify and downsize – whether you are moving or not. But you’ve been in your home for 25-40 years, so where do you start? Maybe you went through downsizing with your parents … and want to make it easier on your children, or even do it all on your own. Hear practical ideas for: where to begin, how to decide what to keep and what to say goodbye to (“no regrets” decisions), where to give away what's no longer wanted or needed, and how to find the time in already busy days to keep at it!

Organizing Workbooks

You’re at a time of your life when you are ready to simplify and downsize – whether you are moving or not. But you’ve been in your home for 25-40 years, so where do you start? Maybe you went through downsizing with your parents ... and want to make it easier on your children. Or maybe you just want to simplify your life. Perhaps there's a move in your future, and perhaps not.

Where do you begin? How do you decide what to keep and what to let go – without regrets later? How do you find the time to downsize in your already busy schedule? How do you stay motivated? Where can you give away items you no longer want or need?

Keep this workbook by your side. There are ideas about how to get started along with the practical how-to aspects. If you want to keep a record of your support team, or of your decisions about your belongings, we've included forms to get you started and to make this whole process easier on you. All forms have been used in my one-on-one work with downsizing clients.
