It's All Clutter #39: Decluttering to Downsize (Part 1)

Podcast #39: Decluttering to Downsize Series: Planning for Downsizing

Are you thinking about downsizing your home, or do you know a loved one who is considering it? If so, this series is for you.

Downsizing your home is a MAJOR life change that’s both extremely emotionally and physically demanding. That’s why I’m addressing this as a series, to give you a deeper dive into each step in order to help remove some of the overwhelm surrounding downsizing. Having a plan in place, along with the right support will help you move forward in this process as smoothly as possible.

There are six steps for successful downsizing:

Plan for this move.
Declutter.
Address your memorabilia.
Pack.
Move.
Create supportive spaces in your new home.

This week features a deeper dive into step #1: Plan for this move.

THANK YOU! This is so helpful! I'm downsizing from over 2000 sq feet plus two huge storage units to an RV. So overwhelming. I really appreciate your great ideas and organized thinking.

Hello from Malaysia! I'm downsizing from a 1200 sq. ft. 3 bedroom condo to a 450 sq. ft. studio unit with condo facilities...I would get to save almost half of my current rent, less daily maintenance and more time, energy and money to be spent on other truly meaningful matters <3

Your comments about a support system is great. Some of us can’t afford a therapist or massage. That’s when you need it most, that’s when I need it most.

Moving from our home of 35 years in 10 - 12 months. I am going to watch all of your videos...several times over :)

Awesome, Jes!!! Just what I needed to hear to help organize for the future and clear the mind clutter about how it will go!

I appreciate you doing this series. You talk about removing judgement however the entire time you seem to think that the only reason we downsize is because we are getting old. This is not the case in this day in time. Many folks are minimizing and learning to appreciate people and events more than material items in their large homes. Again, these are great tips and very appreciated.

Use groceries I’ve already bought to prepare meals before shipping for more.
Prepare for yard sale & goodwill donations.

The hardest thing I'm having a problem with decluttering is all of my linens and blankets do you have any suggestions for that

[jnwalsh]

Jes, expensive music equipment that I won has taken over my house. Should I donate to kids? Do not need 39 guitars in hot, dry weather. Any suggestions? During a pandemic it is so hard to let people in to paint, etc. Suggestions are so welcome. My bedroom is dangerous. Good video.
