After you have made the decision to downsize and move, you do not want to be held up because you are overwhelmed or stuck in the process of going through your items and making the move.  With 10 years of experience, I have spent many hours working with clients, observing their habits, and listening to their concerns, and additionally have spent time networking with other professionals and attending trainings.  Through this, I have learned about the issues people face and have suggestions for making your way through those challenges, to keep moving forward.  Because there is information readily available elsewhere with how-to and step-by-step instructions, these suggestions are not designed to guide you in that way.  You may find these suggestions unique, sometimes looking at thought processes, sometimes taking a broader view of the process as a whole, but ultimately with a goal of efficiency and effectiveness to help you "get through the process".  Click the links below to read these Do-It-Yourself tips.
