The Downsizing Roadmap Podcast
52. Your New Year Downsizing Reset (Part 2)
In Part 1 of this New Year series, we talked about temporal landmarks—why moments like the start of a new year naturally create momentum and make change feel easier to begin.
Part 2 is about using that momentum while it’s here.
This episode lays out a 12-month downsizing roadmap designed to help you channel the motivation that shows up in January into steady progress that lasts all year. Instead of trying to declutter everything at once, we walk through a clear, month-by-month approach that gives each part of your home its own focus.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why New Year momentum fades—and how to work with it instead of against it
- A month-by-month downsizing plan that spreads decisions out over the year
- What to tackle when: paper, safety, storage, sentimental items, and more
- The “One Bag a Month” approach and why consistency matters more than intensity
- Four questions you can use all year to guide downsizing decisions
- How to keep moving forward when life gets busy and motivation dips
If the new year has you feeling ready to start—but unsure where to begin—this episode gives you a way to turn that natural momentum into progress you can actually sustain.
