My List

I love lists.  Lined post-it-notes, ColorNote on my droid and computer, Trello boards, Excel sheets and bullets highlight my day,  I have lists everywhere.   So, what better way for me to build a blog, then call it “My List”.
I hope you can pick up some good information that you can use or pass on. 

Not ready to downsize?  How about Rightsizing.

Change is a part of life and as I get older, I notice I dislike it more and more.  Many times, change is a pain and what was once new adventures, now seem like more work.  I find areas of avoidance growing in my life and I am finding that if I don’t manage it, it will manage me.    With my kids going into college I am beginning to start thinking about rightsizing. 

Rightsizing has been used in the business world as companies either downsize adjust to the changing markets.  Rightsizing your life is the same way, it is adjusting to your changing lifestyle.  Family dynamics, finances, and health are large drivers in rightsizing especially as we get older. 

Sometimes making a move all at once is not the right answer at the time.   Just making a few changes in your home can keep you there longer until you can decide if you are wanting to move to a smaller home or apartment or even moving across the country to be closer to the kids.  Repurposing rooms can keep you on the same level instead of going up and down stairs all day.  Clearing out spaces that you can move more freely throughout the house and sometimes just getting rid of items that you just don’t need anymore can bring a lift to your day.   
  
Springtime is a great time to start thinking about what you would like to do and gives you time to go through you home and not be rushed to do everything all at once in the summer for the garage and estate sales.  Doing an inventory and start working with family members on who would like some of your heirlooms takes time and now is a great time to get started.  Now may be a good time to contact contractors and getting in before the summer rush. 

Before you decide to just throw items in a storage unit you might want to save yourself some much-needed cash and clear out unwanted items and then save space for those items you wanted to keep.  Storage units are wonderful for quick turnaround but long term storage can add up fast.  Save yourself some needed retirement cash and repurpose space for storage in unused spaces in your home.  Better yet start looking at getting it sent off to family or start looking for a collector to purchase those heirlooms.  It takes time to clear out items and the sooner you start the better off you will be in the long run. 

Sunny Solutions works on an hourly basis so this gives you flexibility to utilize my services as you need them.  I can work as a consultant or I can help you dig in and clear it all out.  This may be just an hour a so on a few days then a couple of days of hard dirty labor in clearing items so you can get to them.  We can establish a plan so when you want to totally downsize or move to a one level solution so you can make that transition much easier. 
Here are a few resources for your reference:

Rightsizing your Life by Ciji Ware is a great resource and can help you understand and work through the process.  I picked mine up used at Amazon for a great price. The Laramie County Library has 2 copies that you can borrow. 

Here is also a link to an AARP article that can give you a quick rundown on Rightsizing.
