Description

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Sample Book Insights:
#1 The most important part of the process is to know the stories behind the stuff, so you can freely let go of it. If you are in the process of decluttering, downsizing, or moving, telling your stories to an interested audience is the magic key.
#2 I had never understood the significance of the generation gap until I went through the belongings of Etta, a woman who had grown up during the Great Depression. She had a lot of stuff because she felt that anything she had was precious.
#3 I began to understand that people hoard to cover up pain. I admired Jim when I was young, but now I was seeing Etta as a pillar. For decades, even while raising two kids, she was ready at any time should Jim bring a colleague, supervisor, or client over to be fed and charmed.
#4 To listen intently, make sure you leave the technology behind and bring a pad of paper and a pen. Do not use any electronic devices in front of clients. If you must have your device with you, put it on airplane mode and turn off the ringer and vibrator.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

The most important part of the process is to know the stories behind the stuff, so you can freely let go of it. If you are in the process of decluttering, downsizing, or moving, telling your stories to an interested audience is the magic key.

#2

I had never understood the significance of the generation gap until I went through the belongings of Etta, a woman who had grown up during the Great Depression. She had a lot of stuff because she felt that anything she had was precious.

#3

I began to understand that people hoard to cover up pain. I admired Jim when I was young, but now I was seeing Etta as a pillar. For decades, even while raising two kids, she was ready at any time should Jim bring a colleague, supervisor, or client over to be fed and charmed.

#4

To listen intently, make sure you leave the technology behind and bring a pad of paper and a pen. Do not use any electronic devices in front of clients. If you must have your device with you, put it on airplane mode and turn off the ringer and vibrator.

#5

Etta was very attached to her old photo, which she had kept in her attic for decades. She explained that it was a precious reminder of an unforgettable time in her life, an early glimpse of the man she would spend her life with.

#6

Etta had a good rapport with me, and we had plenty of time to spend together. I was able to help her get rid of more than half of her belongings.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

Lauren was a client of mine who needed help moving. She had never decided where she was going to move to, but she knew she needed to move out of her big house. She was devoted to her crafts, and didn’t want to let them go.

#2

The first and most important question in downsizing is: Where are you going. What is your destination. You may end up staying where you are and aging in place or you may downsize to a smaller home.

#3

If your home suits you, you can stay there. As you age, you can make modifications to the home, such as adding grab bars to showers and moving your bedroom to the main level. This option is not for everyone, however.

#4

Home-sharing is another option for multigenerational living. It allows you to share costs with roommates while still enjoying independence. It isn't for those who prioritize their privacy above all else.

#5

Lauren loved people, and she loved the idea of independent living communities, which are usually for 55-plus adults. These types of housing offer a great sense of community, as well as safety, independence, companionship, and activities.

#6

Continuing care retirement communities offer long-term care options for people who want to stay in the same place through different phases of the aging process.

#7

The fear of losing control is a major reason people don’t make decisions.
