21 Acres: Right-Sizing: Less Stuff = Less Stress
Has your lifestyle changed? Are you preparing to downsize to start
another chapter of your life? Downsizing, also known as "Right-Sizing"
is a process we will all experience at some point in our lives.
Today, people of all ages are realizing the benefits of right-sizing
and living a more simple and peaceful life. For some, the right-sizing
process starts at a younger age as people prepare for the urban condo
experience. Others may wait until they become empty nesters to right
size decades of treasures.
Instructor, Laura Leist, experienced a crash-course in right-sizing
when her mom passed away when she was just 16. Laura knows firsthand
how difficult it is to part with the treasures you've cherished over the
years as, as she helped her Grandparents downsize her mom's home in
order to prepare it for an estate sale. (You can read about this
experience in Eliminate Chaos: The 10-Step Process to Organize Your
Home & Life in the "Laura's Story" chapter.)
