Thoreau s Downsizing Planner for Seniors by Philip Baker Book PDF Summary
Do you know the biggest mistake seniors make when downsizing their lives? 'Thoreau's Downsizing Planner for Seniors' will help make sure you avoid the mistakes that cost seniors time, possessions, and money, and cause heartache. The biggest mistake seniors make when downsizing is a lack of organization. Items can get lost or damaged, important documents and records are often misplaced, bills can go unpaid, mail not received, and an overall sense of confusion can add to the stress of moving. Moving is considered a high-stress life event: This relocation for seniors can be mixed with uncertainty, loneliness, possible illness, and a loss of independence. Due to the many additional decisions to be made for many seniors, downsizing can be more complex than just moving. Whether you or loved ones are moving across town or across the country you will likely be: Tackling major living decisions. Dealing with belongings; sorting through decades of family history, organizing, selling, giving way and discarding possessions. Hiring a moving company. Packing and unpacking. Organizing and cleaning. Selling, donating, and discarding items. Shutting off and turning on utilities. Stopping services and starting services. Changing addresses and notifying everyone. Gathering, organizing and keeping important documents and records. And with a myriad of other tasks all on a schedule, this is a formidable challenge for anyone and even paralyzing for many people.
