Moving should feel like a fresh start—not a nightmare of boxes, clutter, and stress. Whether you’re upgrading from an apartment to a house, downsizing into a smaller space, or simply seeking a smoother transition, minimalism offers the key: take only what matters most.
The Minimalist Move is your practical guide to moving with clarity and calm. You’ll learn how to declutter before packing, make intentional decisions about what to bring, and set up your new home with less stuff and more breathing room. With checklists, timelines, and smart strategies, this book turns relocation into an opportunity to reset—not just relocate clutter from one place to another.
Perfect for readers in their 30s through 50s, it addresses both upsizing (how to furnish new rooms without overfilling them) and downsizing (how to let go with confidence). The result? A simpler, lighter home that supports your next chapter.
Moving doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With this guide, it becomes your best chance to live with less—and love it more.
