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.\nVivian 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.\"\nWe 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.\nWork with Vivian: ftbhomeorganizing.com/moveabroad\nJoin the We're Moving to Europe Community (free): skool.com/were-moving-to-europe\n00:00 Introduction to the Journey of Moving Abroad\n02:21 Personal Experiences with Moving and Downsizing\n06:06 Understanding the Emotional Impact of Letting Go\n09:24 The Bucket System for Organizing Belongings\n13:15 Logistical Challenges of Moving: Fly, Ship, Store\n16:50 Financial Considerations in Shipping and Storage\n23:28 Setting the Foundation for Downsizing\n24:13 Getting the Boat in Motion\n26:09 The Simon Cowell Sweep\n28:20 Making Thoughtful Decisions\n32:51 Clarifying Your New Life\n33:59 Approaching a Quick Move\n35:49 The Not on My New Album Filter\n38:44 Bringing Meaningful Items\n42:10 Embracing the Adventure of Downsizing\n44:14 Introduction to Moving to Europe\n44:16 Practical Steps for Relocation\nMusic 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}
