Organizing From The Inside Out
The After Effects of Downsizing
Organizing from the inside out is about creating a system based on you. Your personality, your wants, your expectations and what works for you. While there’s more than one way to do this, following is a basic system to help you get started.
1st-
You need to assess what the obstacles are that are holding you back. While also thinking where you are now, and where you’re headed. Ask yourself why it’s important to get there. Once you understand the obstacles, you can take steps to overcome them.
2nd-
You need to create a plan on exactly how you’re going to achieve the results you want. As well as a schedule so you have a timeline for when each step needs to be completed.
3rd-
The final part is to put the plan into action and make the changes you outlined in the second step. Get in there and sort through the “stuff”, sell, donate or otherwise get rid of the surplus. Once done you’ll be well on your way to being downsized.
What now?
But what are the after effects of downsizing? Well, you’ll feel better. You won’t have the burden of too many possessions and what to do with them. You won’t have to worry about where to put them or how you’re going to make them fit in your new, smaller home.
Less Stress
You’ll have less stress – physically, mentally and financially. With a smaller home, your monthly costs for heating or cooling, other utilities, taxes and maintenance will all be reduced. Therefore reducing stress while making it financially easier on you.
Less Personal Belongings
With less personal belongings and less space to look after you’ll have more time and resources to do things you want to do. Instead of doing things that need to be done. You can get started on your bucket list! Travel, visit with friends and family or take up the hobby you sacrificed years ago because you had too many other things to do.
Less Commitment
With less commitment to your home and belongings, you’ll have more time and energy to commit to things that make you happy or which fulfill you . This could include; church, charities, hobbies, sports, or hanging out with your grand kids.
