Starting Your Rightsizing Adventure
Get started early. Even if you are
months away from selling your home, it’s
never too early to start organizing and
purging.
Organize while you pack. Consider
making piles for packing, selling, or
donating.
Prioritize items you’re taking with you.
Have you used it in the last year? If the
answer is no, it might be time to donate
or get rid of it.
Determine how much space or square
footage you will need for your new home.
Determine whether your existing
furniture will fit into your new space.
Consider your lifestyle. What do you
truly need to take with you? Now is the
time to simplify your life.
Donate, donate, donate! Use this
opportunity to help less fortunate people
in your community by donating your
gently used items.
Get rid of paperwork you no longer need.
If you have documents you want to have
a copy of, consider have them scanned
into a thumb drive or uploading them
into your online storage drive/cloud.
Consult with loved ones for special items
they may want to have for their home.
