315 - The Clutter Free Move Jul 31, 2018

Show notes

Tonya has just lived my nightmare; not only did she move, she moved into a smaller house.

You would think that this would have sent her into a corner, rocking back and forth, but not Tonya. As the leader of Clutter Free Academy on Facebook Tonya has learned more than a thing or two about how to do life Clutter Free - including moving all of her earthly possessions.

And now, Tonya and I will share everything we've learned about moving in the midst of getting rid of clutter.

In this info-filled interview, you will learn how to • make decisions about what to bring and what to get rid of • change your attitude about keeping stuff "just in case" • give things away with an attitude of abundance

After the interview, I asked Tonya to share with me her 3 rules for holding a yard sale/giveaway. Here is what Tonya encourages you to state:

No Holds: Your objective is to get rid of stuff, not to establish layaway programs.)
No Negotiating: This will considerably lessen your stress on the day. Price things to move!
No Give-Backs: Once you take it, it's yours. Tonya had her couch returned 3 times because people failed to measure their space or the couch. Eventually, they ended up taking it to the dump - what a waste - especially since the right buyer may have stopped by at some point while the couch was on a field trip.

I’m thrilled to have Tonya back on the show! Join us if you are planning a move, or ever plan on moving - you will thank me!
