How To Downsize Your Home With Absolutely Zero Regrets

If you're reading this article, chances are that you've considered downsizing your home. You may have even started to pack things away and get rid of some things in preparation for the big move. While I totally understand why this is a daunting prospect, I promise that if you follow these tips and tricks on how to downsize your home with absolutely zero regrets, it will be one of the best decisions you've ever made!

Cut out the things you haven't used in years.

Next, it's time to get rid of the stuff you don't need.

There are two reasons why people hold onto things they haven't used in years: either they paid money for them or they think they might need them someday.

If you bought something and never used it, don't keep it around because you feel guilty about spending money on something that didn't work out for you.  If a purchase turned out poorly, donate whatever item was involved so someone else can benefit from its use instead of wasting away in your house collecting dust (or worse yet--creating clutter).

Donate your stuff!

Donating your stuff is an easy way to downsize your home without having to get rid of it permanently. You can donate items that are still in good shape, but you don't need anymore. For example, if you have DVDs and CDs that are no longer relevant or useful to you (e.g., because they were released before streaming services became popular), then donating them would be a great way to clear up space while helping others out at the same time!

Another reason why donating might make sense is if there's room in our garage but not enough space inside our house itself--this could happen when we buy new cars every year because we never fix old ones up properly after accidents occur with them during road trips overseas (which happens often). If this sounds like something interesting enough for us here at [Goodwill][2]!

Map Everything Out Before You Start Packing.

You can't do it all at once. Break your packing down into manageable chunks and plan for the unexpected.

The first step is to map out exactly what you want to do, how long it will take and how much time each task will need. You may find that some rooms can be packed up faster than others, so you might want to start with those areas first--like kitchen appliances or linens--and finish with more complicated items like electronics or clothing (which often require more steps). If there are items that need repair before they're ready for storage, make sure they're repaired first!

Rethink Your Hobbies.

In the process of downsizing, you have to ask yourself what your priorities are. If you still have time for hobbies, consider getting rid of the ones that take up too much space. If you don't have time for hobbies, consider finding new hobbies that don't require a lot of space.

Try something new! If you love knitting but can't stand cleaning up after dropped stitches, try knitting socks instead--they're quicker and easier than sweaters (and less messy). Or learn how to crochet with yarn scraps instead of buying full-price skeins at craft stores--it's cheaper and easier on your wallet too!

Make it portable! You can always bring along books when traveling by plane; why not do the same with video games? Downloading an app onto your phone means no need for extra equipment like consoles or game boxes--just charge up before takeoff so everything's ready when they land (and there won't be any arguments over who gets first pick).
