That's an 80 percent downsize! The hardest part was standing in my house, looking at decades of stuff, and not knowing where to start.Vivian Najib has done this three times. She's a professional organizer who's moved from New York to Italy, Southeast Asia, and now Portugal. In this conversation, she walks us through her Bucket System. Her framework takes the stress out of downsizing by giving every item a next destination instead of asking \"keep or toss.\"We cover her buckets, learn why \"I love it\" is not a destination, and find out how and why to set limits before you start sorting. If your stuff is the thing standing between you and your move, this is the episode.Work with Vivian: ftbhomeorganizing.com/moveabroadJoin the We're Moving to Europe Community (free): skool.com/were-moving-to-europe00:00 Introduction to the Journey of Moving Abroad02:21 Personal Experiences with Moving and Downsizing06:06 Understanding the Emotional Impact of Letting Go09:24 The Bucket System for Organizing Belongings13:15 Logistical Challenges of Moving: Fly, Ship, Store16:50 Financial Considerations in Shipping and Storage23:28 Setting the Foundation for Downsizing24:13 Getting the Boat in Motion26:09 The Simon Cowell Sweep28:20 Making Thoughtful Decisions32:51 Clarifying Your New Life33:59 Approaching a Quick Move35:49 The Not on My New Album Filter38:44 Bringing Meaningful Items42:10 Embracing the Adventure of Downsizing44:14 Introduction to Moving to Europe44:16 Practical Steps for RelocationMusic and production by @Sage Barton","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qFl3RG2sQDzTjkU_g-jyRf4yEQi4ZO2heR16SgNw7O0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lMmJj/NmIwNTFmY2NlM2Mw/ZThhMDc0ODg4NmMx/YjUxNC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
