If you are planning to downsize, do not start with the basement or your old boxes of letters.
Instead, give yourself a warm-up. Start in a low-stakes area like the linen closet or the laundry room cabinets.
Practicing on items that do not carry emotional weight allows you to build momentum.
By the time you get to the sentimental belongings, you will have the confidence to make clear decisions.
Save the hardest rooms for the final exam.
Where are you planning to start your downsizing journey?🏡
