Time To Downsize?
Decluttering and Donating
Downsizing Tip #1 - Take Photos
Are you or a family member facing the seemingly
enormous task of downsizing?
Don't let tough decisions derail the entire process.
If sorting through sentimental items and heirlooms is stopping progress forward,
suggest taking a picture.
Having a photo allows us to preserve the memory, even if we never look at it again.
Speaking from personal experience, this works.

They're the backdrop to my childhood. Realistically, I can't keep all of them though.

If I saw those same things in a store would I buy them?
No.
The emotional and sentimental pull is strong and taking a photo allows
me to feel I've retained them.
