Downsizing and Moving Tips Plus Little Bits of Info to Help Your Loved One

Sentimental About Books? Take it Slow

  1. Start small by donating a book or two at a time to a Little Free Library. For help finding one in your neighborhood, enter your zip code in the online map. 
     

  2. Before donating a book, fan through its pages to see if anyone has stashed cash or letters inside.
     

  3. Once you gain steam and have filled a small box, check your local library to see if it accepts used books. Here are a few that do in the Chicago suburbs:

    • ​Evanston Public Library: Better World Books donation box outside near the parking lot.

    • Glenview Public Library: Used Book Store

    • Wilmette Public Library: Friends of the Library used book store

My Decluttering Secret: An Apron with Pockets

I love wearing my bright pink apron with pockets when I help clients declutter. I keep a Sharpie, Post It notes, packing tape, my phone, and any keys I'm using in the large pockets so everything I need is handy.

 

Bonus: I got my pretty personalized apron on Etsy; I felt great supporting another small business!
