Downsizing For Tiny Life takes you step-by-step through the process of downsizing your home (whether you live in 600 sf or 6,000 sf) saving you time, money, and your sanity; getting you closer to that simpler life you always wanted.
Do you dream of traveling the country by RV, van, or skoolie? Or sailing off into the sunset in your new floating home? Maybe you want to build a tiny house and live a more peaceful and sustainable life up in the mountains somewhere.
Whether it's to get out of debt, travel, or simply have more freedom in your life, the minimalist lifestyle is more popular now than ever before. But if you're like most people, you'll probably need to do some extreme downsizing first.
Maybe you've already tried busting out the trash bags and bins, only to get totally overwhelmed. Where do you even start? How do you decide what stays and what goes? And what exactly do you do with it all once you decide? This is where most people quit. I get it. I've been there, too.
When my wife and I moved onto our sailboat, we had to be ruthless with our decluttering. So we created a process for downsizing that was both ruthless and realistic. And now, I turned our process into a book so that I could help others work through the sensitive and difficult decisions that must be made when you do a big declutter.
This book will help you:
- Immediately identify what can be thrown away without any guesswork or emotional stress
- Change your "attachment" mindset so you can confidently choose what items no longer fit into your new life, and how to respectfully (and willingly) let them go
- Know what to do with the big-ticket items you spent so much money on
- Avoid the trap of putting your things in a storage unit (this alone could save you over $1,000 per year!)
- Learn the secrets to getting more money for your stuff when it comes time to sell
- Manage your digital assets (just because they aren't physical clutter doesn't mean they're not clutter)
In the end, you'll feel lighter, freer, and less overwhelmed. And more importantly, you'll be well on your way to the more intentional lifestyle you crave.

"Great job in putting together suggestions, cohesive lists, plans of actions and other ideas to help us through this time after years of antiquing/collecting and holding on to all those tchotchkes we hold near & dear! Sure did put me in a 'detached' state of mind and made 30+ years of downsizing easier than I ever thought possible. Much thanks & highly recommend!"
"This is written in a fun and easy style... Downsizing ain't fun, and having what feels like a friend to cheer you on and joke around with you makes it much easier!"
