Shortly before moving home is a good time to declutter so there is less to take to the new home. Decluttering is not easy, but if you break it down into small chunks, you can declutter over a weekend. Consider these tips so you can minimise your stress levels
First, focus on a single space, such as a drawer, wardrobe, bookcase or shelf rather than an entire room. Take everything out of this space and sort it into three piles depending on whether you will donate or sell them, keep them or throw them away. You could add a fourth pile of items that need mending or renovating if you have the DIY skills to do this at a future date.
Continue sorting small spaces until the whole house has been sorted. This will help you stay focused and make progress more manageable. Be ruthless; if you haven’t used an item in the past year or clothing no longer fits your lifestyle, consider letting it go.
Objects that hold sentimental value can be kept as memories, but be mindful of the space they occupy. Consider digitizing photos or keepsakes to save space.
After sorting everything, don’t delay in taking items to the recycling centre and charity shops. Items you are keeping but don’t use regularly can be packed into boxes ready for the move.
