Workshop Agenda
PART 1: Oxford resident and Founder of Lyn’s Daughter, Marion Schloemer, will deliver “Decluttering to Downsize”. She will show you:
A. Where to begin – This can be the toughest part of planning to downsize: where do I even start? This portion of the seminar acknowledges we need to get mentally prepared to downsize a home that has meant something to us.
B. How to decide what to keep – Beyond "what will actually FIT in my new home?", we'll talk about how to rightsize your memories and keep the items that really make your heart sing.
C. How to disperse your belongings – It's helpful to know what your options are for the items you decide to release. Lyn's Daughter will show you an easy decision-making process to determine what goes into the Toss, Donate, or Sell categories.
PART 2: Professional Organizer and Owner of Uncluttered Inspiration, Chastity Martin, will teach participants how to Get (and Stay!) Organized in their new homes. You will learn how to:
A. Unpack your home in an organized and efficient way — Moving in to a new home can be exciting and overwhelming. Chastity will talk about categories you can use to sort your treasures to help avoid the overwhelm of unpacking!
B. Create a place for everything in your new home so that it works best for you — Learn how to sort all your treasures and find the perfect, most efficient place for them in your new home. No more looking for items you need! No more wasted time! Chastity will also discuss some different organizing container options.
C. Adjust to new habits, a new space, and new freedoms — Sorting and Labeling will help you find what you need when you want it. Less stress, less frustration, and more freedom.
