DOWNSIZING IN AUSTRALIA
she wanted to keep and what she wanted to release , working on one room at a time . She assigned yellow dots to one of her daughters and blue dots to the other . She used the green dots for things she wanted to move to her new place and red dots for things to leave for the estate sale .
She called and told us she did not realise how easy it could be . Working through one room at a time using the dots had made the task so much more manageable . When the estate liquidators came over , it was easy to show them that the items marked with red dots were for sale . When the packers and movers came , she showed them that all of the green-dot items were going with her to her new apartment . Her daughters came and picked up the items that had been marked for them with the yellow and blue dots . Joan hated to part with her crystal and china , but her daughters didn ’ t want them , so her packers took a few pieces from each set and put together a nice vignette
