If you’ve made the smart decision to downsize your home then you’re in for a treat. That’s because you’ll have so much less to contend with in terms of home maintenance. You’ll also have a lot less clutter which is going to give your new environment a totally positive energy. Since you’re not the first to downsize, you have the benefit of all the practical experiences that have come before you.
For instance, you might want to rethink your furniture as multi-function. This could mean a bed with built-in drawers underneath the mattress/box spring. You could find an appropriate piece of furniture for your hallway that can contain shoes, coats, keys and backpacks. In others words, create a focused “drop-off” point. Downsizing is the time to focus on your closets. You’re not going to have the space you’ve been used to in the past. However, there are probably a lot of clothes which you never wear that can finally be donated.
Downsizing is also the time to shrink your various collections. There are many things you’ll want to keep but there are probably just as many that you can either put in storage or sell on eBay. For everything else, think plastic bins. These containers can be easily stacked in a closet. Label what’s on the inside and you shouldn’t have any problem finding what you’re looking for in the future.

Over at UC San Diego, you’ll find a group of students taking a break from the books to do a little gardening. Sunday morning is gardening time for the volunteers who are cultivating Roger’s Community Garden to grow such organic goodies as herbs, onions, tomatoes, blackberries and its very own miniature fruit orchard. What they grow ends up being used at the campus cafeterias and is all supported by the Green Initiative Fund (TGIF). This is an organization who gives out grants to provide “funding for projects that reduce UC San Diego’s negative impact on the environment, in addition to making UC San Diego more sustainable in both the social and environmental sense.” In other words, they help gardens grow.
