Start Small & Take Your Time
Downsizing isn’t an overnight process. Begin with one room (or even one closet) at a time. Sorting through decades of belongings can be emotional, so give yourself grace and celebrate small victories.
The "Keep, Donate, Toss" Rule
For every item, ask yourself: Do I use it? Do I love it? If not, it might be time to let it go. Donate what you can, gift sentimental pieces to family, and toss anything broken or unusable.
Digitize the Memories
Not ready to part with all those old photos and paperwork? Consider scanning and saving them digitally—it frees up space while keeping the memories intact.
Right-Size, Don’t Just Downsize
Think about what fits your next chapter. If you’re moving to a smaller home, focus on keeping the things that truly bring you joy and function in your new space.
Call in the Pros
Decluttering experts, estate sale professionals, and real estate agents (like me!) can make this transition so much easier. Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
