Putting things off won't stop the future from coming, so plan ahead.
Some of us go through life wearing blinders because we do not want to see or think about things that are taking place now - today - that may affect the future.

Downsize by passing on precious property to loved ones.
Have you started downsizing or de-cluttering yet? Or are at least thinking about it? If you have started, you may have come across something of great sentimental value to you. So what do you do with these items? Find a new home for them! Sure, you are thinking that no one wants this stuff, it is junk. Well it is not junk!
