Downsizing
Downsizing
Downsizing can take many forms, all of which a professional organizer can handle. It's important that your efforts to reduce your living footprint, either with a new place, or simply a cleaner, clearer, more organized same place, be easy, fun and effective. Maybe you are retiring and want to trade in the larger yard and family home for a condo in Boca Ratan. Maybe you want to stay where you are living, but yearn to clear out the storage units and turn the kids' old bedrooms into a workout or craft room. Maybe you just want some extra space to breathe more easily. All those downsizing options can reap you powerful rewards. Downsizing can be exhilarating, but it can come with some challenges. What to do with all the things? Do you phone up the children and ask what they want? Do you sell it off and put the money toward your move? Do you continue to store it until you can decide? Can you actually make it through all those family memories and part with enough stuff to make it fit in the next smaller place? The questions can seem endless. Dealing with those questions can bring up emotional reactions, and you are not alone in that. We all go through it, sometimes doubting ourselves, second guessing our approach. Because a professional organizer has been through that process with a number of customers (instead of just a handful of times in your own personal experience), they know the pitfalls, the possible road bumps that can come up, and can help you navigate more smoothly around and through them. Having an ally like that makes it so much better. |
