Long time reader and JALF follower, Eric King, recently sent us a message.

“I am moving. For all intents and purposes let's say I have to downsize an entire household of many years of stuff into the equivalent of a sailboat. How did you do it?”

Since we’ve written lots about “stuff” and how to fit it into small spaces, we thought we’d tackle Eric’s question as a blog post and share it with everybody. Eric did mention he’s not moving aboard a sailboat, but downsizing doesn’t have to be just for liveaboards. It can simply be to simplify your life or move to a much smaller space.
