What If You Had To Move It All?!

A conversation, all about organizing, with friend & realtor Laura Ferrara Mapes has prompted this week’s content! We chatted about the challenges to people as they sell their home, as well as the unique situations families are facing with many homeschooling, AND we touched on how a cluttered space leads to a cluttered mind. To make life easier I’m expanding on each of those topics over the next few days! Let's dive in...

You may or may not be selling your home, BUT I invite you to pretend for a moment that you are. Envision that you have to box it all up & move it! Does it make you look at everything just a bit differently? Whether you’re listing a home for sale or you’re ready to lighten your load, it may be time to get organized!

The organizing process makes it easier to clear out years of accumulated belongings. In this next step you’re about to take (or even simply imagine) wouldn’t it be nice to start fresh & only bring along a curated collection of your favorite possessions? If it’s not serving you now it won’t serve you after you box it up, pay to have it moved, then stuff it in a storage area!

As you box up “keepers” to move make sure you LOVE or USE each item. If not, it's not worthy of your time & money to relocate it. AND the less you have to move the easier the process is.

When your house is decluttered it’s much easier to depersonalize it for sale. Though it may be hard to see your home without your touches, it’ll allow a potential buyer to envision the space as theirs, picturing their photos & treasures in it. (If you’re just organizing this is a good time to evaluate the feeling you’d like evoked in your home, only display things that are in alignment.)
