Who this downsizing planner is for
This planner is for empty nesters, retirees and families helping a parent move to a smaller home or senior living. Moving to a smaller home means making many decisions about furniture, keepsakes and a lifetime of belongings, which can feel emotional and exhausting. This planner breaks the work into calm, manageable steps and helps families share the load. It also keeps track of what goes to children, what is sold and what is donated, so nothing is forgotten.
How to use your downsizing planner
Set goals, go room by room, make decisions, plan family gifts and sales, measure the new floor plan, follow the timeline and keep contacts. Write your goals and the reasons for downsizing. Work room by room, deciding what to keep, gift, sell or donate. Record decisions so family members know the plan. List treasured items going to relatives on the family gifts page. Track items for sale and their prices. Sketch the new home's floor plan and check which furniture will fit. Follow the timeline toward moving day, and keep movers, estate sale companies and helpers on the contacts page.
