Somehow it just happens. You say "yes" before you really even think it through.
Suddenly, in the blink of an eye, your home is up for sale, or the construction team is knocking at the door for the kitchen remodel, or a nephew, aging parent, sibling, or adult child is moving into the spare guest room.
How do you manage to keep from feeling overwhelmed when you and your home are in such a transition? Try these three organizational tips to help you keep from being overwhelmed when transition occurs.
Discuss the obvious
This may seem like a no-brainer, but until everyone involved in a transition gets on the same page by talking about the situation, the potential for confusion, disorganization, and even chaos can occur.
Set clear deadlines
Once the obvious is settled, getting everyone on the same page involves establishing a plan. First you’ll need a guide for progress and completion. The easiest way to manage this is to set clear deadlines for yourself and others.
Understand the storage of stuff
A period of transition may require moving and storing everyone’s property. It may be a little bit or a lot of stuff that needs to be stored away for a short or long time.
