Helping seniors declutter & downsize can be a delicate process. After decades in a home, it can be extremely difficult to part with things and very overwhelming for individuals and family members. Having an outside expert can help streamline the daunting and emotional process. Here are some tips when considering decluttering and/or downsizing later in life.

Start Early & Create a Plan
- Downsizing is a process, not an event. Allow ample time to sort through belongings and make decisions without feeling rushed.
- Develop a clear plan that outlines the goals, timeline, and how decisions will be made.

Declutter Room by Room:
- Focus on one room at a time, breaking the task into manageable chunks to avoid feeling overwhelmed.
- Sort into categories of "Keep", "Donate", "Sell", "Give to Family", "Toss." Avoid creating a "Not Sure" category.

Downsizing Strategies:
- Donating items to local charities can make parting with belongings a little bit easier.
- Consider digitizing important documents & photographs.
- Be patient and understanding as decluttering and downsizing can be an emotionally challenging process.

Going through a life's worth of home items is no small task, but it can provide important benefits like reduced care for a home, a safer space for mobility and a calmer and less cluttered environment.

Let’s get your closet organized for fall! 🍁
1. Edit, edit, edit
Eliminating the excess is always number one. What don't you wear, what's uncomfortable, what's not your color, what isn't the right size, what don't you grab and you're not sure why? These are the questions to ask yourself when editing. Remove what's not working, donate or pass on to friends.
2. Group into clear categories.
Put all tops together, dresses together, workout clothes, etc. It sounds simple, but you'd be surprised how easily clothes can get stashed in the wrong spot. You can then further group by season and color if desired.
3. Maintain
This is the most important tip of all. When trying on clothes, after you're done, everything has to go back to it's "home." If not immediately, then within the next day. Items need to stay in their spots unless being worn. It's easy for a closet to turn upside down if things are never put away.

You can do this and have your closet look this good too! 👚
