Downsizing is not the same as decluttering. It is a series of decisions about what to keep, and what that stuff means. Organized Downsizing is a practical, humane guide to simplifying life's big transitions.

Stephanie Windfield explains why downsizing is a different task from decluttering, why to start before you have to, and how to decide about sentimental items, photographs and documents. She also covers furniture and the math of a smaller floor plan, helping an aging parent downsize without taking over, items your kids do not want, selling and donating with intention, the emotional weight of the family home, and downsizing that is forced rather than chosen.

Thoughtful, practical and kind, this book is for anyone facing a smaller home, a parent's move or a major life change.
