✨5 Things You Can Do Now to Make Downsizing Easier Later✨

Thinking about downsizing but not quite ready yet?
Here are 5 small steps you can take right now to make your future move seamless and stress-free!

1. Start With One Drawer
There is no better place to start than the beginning. Pick your first drawer (I suggest your Tupperware).
I promise, you’ll gain momentum to tackle another one.

2. Donate One Box A Month
Keep a box in a spare closet. Every time you find something that you no longer need, add it to the donation box. Every month, take that box and donate it. Then start the next box!

3. Digitize Keepsakes
Photobooks and keepsakes are a large part of our possessions that take up space. Take photos of some of your memorable items and digitalize your albums so that you can pass on the memories without the ‘stuff’.

4. Create A “Future Home” Vision Board
Start envisioning how downsizing will look and feel. What will your ideal new space include- Amenities, a more walkable lifestyle? Will it include more travel, and if so - where to? Get excited about your next step!

5. Rethink Your Space
You may not live in every room of your home. Part of downsizing is knowing the ‘right size’ space for your next step.
Start closing off unused rooms so you can get a better idea of how much space you are actually living in. This will help you understand the square footage you need moving forward.

Small steps today lead to a smoother transition tomorrow.
