Senior Downsizing Made Easier

Are you a senior (or the family member of a senior) who’s thinking about a downsizing move? Would it be helpful to have strategies and tools to make the process easier, faster, and less stressful? Here’s a tremendous resource for you: Letting Go of Life's Treasures: A Downsizing Guide for Purging and Disposal. This online class from The Downsizing Institute (DSI) is one of the BEST courses I’ve taken, chock full of helpful information to ease the downsizing process.

A senior downsizing move can be very stressful, especially if there are physical limitations. It's common for seniors to procrastinate, feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable. The decisions about what to do with a lifetime of possessions can be exhausting, even for those who are ready to embrace the change; it’s important to start well before the move is upon you, allowing more time than you think you’ll need. As Deborah Moyer of DSI says, “Unless you have a move fairy godmother with a powerful wand who can create space for you, you can’t take it all.” The decisions about what to do with your belongings will be so much easier with her expert advice.

Letting Go of Life’s Treasures provides great information in an easy, accessible format. It covers creating your purge game plan (including space planning) and provides purging tips by room. It also includes a fabulous list of suggestions and resources for disposing of unwanted items. I’ve implemented these tips and strategies with my clients, and found so much value in this course that I want more people to hear about it.
