You may have lived in your home for just a few years or you may have lived there for many decades. When it comes time to move, chances are there will be a few or many extra items that you may not want to take with you. The tricky part is knowing where to start!
Declutter definition: 'to organise and prioritise your possessions'
Moving house is the perfect time to do just that - organise and prioritise your possessions. You have to touch everything in your home to move so it is the ideal time to get rid of all those items you have forgotten about or that won't add value to your life in your new home. Moving to a new home can be a new start or at least a time for a change.
Some tips
Start small - just one room or one draw at a time so that you don't feel overwhelmed by the task at hand.
Set up some boxes - Keep - Donate - Sell - Trash
Pack and label the boxes that you are keeping. This will get your home packed in no time at all.
It is a great time to be ruthless, if you haven't used something in the last 12 months, chances are you are not going to any time soon.
