A good place to start the downsizing process is by reading Moving for Seniors, a workbook created by Barbara Morris of Smooth Transitions®. This step-by-step guide features information on when to downsize, where to move, what to move, how to keep it simple, and tips for adult children. The book includes many charts, questions, and forms to make any move easier.

The 55 page workbook features basic questions as to should I downsize, what are my options, when to start, and how to accomplish such a monumental task without losing my sanity! Useful tips on what to do with a lifetime of accumulations and basic do-it -yourself hints on surviving the process are included. Even if you are not planning a move for several years, its never too early to start weeding through your "stuff".

"Your workbook has many good suggestions; easy to follow and a systematic approach for making a decision you can adjust to with good results. Keep system simple and other advisable points are helpful."
-A Missouri Reader
