BE PROACTIVE - Don’t wait too long to get help….waiting to the last minute can be costly. It takes time to line up resources to help. We are often booking 1-3 months out for work.
FOOD - Edit your food before you move. It’s very helpful to eat up your food before a move especially if you have a deep freeze or a large pantry.
BATH/MEDS - Clean out your bathroom vanities and medicine cabinets. Properly dispose of unused medicines.
CLOTHES - Edit your clothing. You know what you are wearing now and what you haven’t worn in years. Let go of clothes that don’t fit. Are you hanging on to it due to guilt(spent too much on and never wore)? Check all the pockets and take to your favorite charity. Throw away any clothing that needs repairs, is stained or dirty.
SIMPLIFY - Give away items to family and friends and don’t take it personally when they decline the gifts. Let it go and let it find it’s way to a new owner.
HAZARDOUS MATERIALS - It’s a huge money and time saver to take care of hazardous waste materials in your home BEFORE you move. That includes old paints, stains, furniture refinishing products, tube florescent light bulbs, spray paint, oils and fluids for automobiles.
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS – We can help as much or a little as you like. Statistics show that if we don’t downsize in our 50’s and 60’s we won’t in our 70’s. Moving/Downsizing is very hard work, emotionally and physically. It’s easier when we have realistic expectations for ourselves.
