Home Organizing, Downsizing and Estate Clearing
I am reminded about the “Don’t Mess With Karma” commercials for Encorp Return-It depots as I write this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLBZHrWdQB0
Do you leave a trail of clutter wherever you go? Be considerate of the person that may follow your path; break down your cardboard boxes in the recycle bin, return your shopping cart instead of leaving it in the middle of a parking stall, replace the toilet paper, flush…..you get the idea.
Dog experts say depression in dogs is common after a move. Walk your dog through his already accomplished training in and outside your new home; this will give him renewed confidence.
If you are moving into a smaller space, downsize proportionately. If your new home will be half the size, purge half of your stuff. Making these decisions before you move will take a ton on pressure off of you at the other end. Having enough space for everything you take will make for an easier transition, and you won’t pay a mover to move things you will have to get rid of later.
