Step 1Clothes
If their wardrobe has outgrown their closet and dresser, we start by purging enough pieces so that everything will fit. Get rid of unwanted clothing at yard sales or online, or by donating items to charity. Slide7
Step 2Anything in Off-Site Storage
According to the Self Storage Association, there are about 50,000 self-storage facilities in the U.S. That's more than five times the number of Starbucks! Vow to eliminate storage fees by getting rid of enough stuff so that all your possessions fit in your own homeSlide8
Step 3Exercise Equipment
If the exercise bike or treadmill in your bedroom has turned into a permanent clothes rack, donate it to a local thrift store or charitySlide9
Step 4
Kitchen Appliances and GadgetsAsk yourself: "When was the last time I plugged that in?" If it's been more than six months since you've used the waffle iron or bread maker, it's probably time to find that appliance a new home. While you're in the kitchen, eliminate unused culinary gadgets and nonmatching tablewareSlide10
Step 5
Childhood MemorabiliaIf your kids or other family members don't want keepsakes from their own childhood (or yours) now, they're not going to want them when you're gone. Hold on to a few precious, symbolic mementos — those that truly spark memories and joy — and digitize images of the other things.Slide11
Step 6
Consumer Reports advises organizing your important files into four categories: "papers that you need to keep for the calendar year or less; ones that can be destroyed when you no longer own the items they cover; tax records, which you should save for seven years; and papers to keep indefinitely." You can access copies of many documents (e.g., bills, bank statements, user manuals, etc.) via online accounts. Consider storing digitized documents on a Web-based storage service or an external driveSlide12
Step 7
Books, Magazines, DVDsUnless a book has sentimental value or you're going to read it again, put it back into circulation via a yard sale or thrift store so that others can enjoy it. Or donate it to your library, where you can always get free access to books, CDs and DVDs. You can store countless e-books (many are available for free) on an e-reader that's smaller than a single print volume, and you can easily digitize your music and movie collectionsSlide13
Step 8
DecorationsWhile holiday decor has some sentimental value, consider getting rid of the decorations you haven't used in the past five years, particularly bulkier items such as outdoor decorations and holiday tableware you use just once a yearSlide14

Fact:
Why Tell Your Clients about our Services
Managing the emotional stress downsizing a home can be a very difficult time in your life. The reasons for downsizing a home are many, including financial, health issues, empty nest syndrome, or moving to be nearer family members. The experience of downsizing a family home can be overwhelming.
Tackling the process of dispersing unneeded personal possessions during downsizing can be a major source of emotional trauma. The best suggestion for managing the emotional stress of downsizing is recognizing what is causing your stress and developing an action plan for handling the downsizing process with minimal added emotional trauma.
