5 organizing tips to consider before moving

1. Declutter on one space at a time

By just focussing on getting one area done at a time you’ll avoid becoming overwhelmed. This may be one room, one cupboard or even one drawer. Start in the space or room that you use the least.

2. Sort items you don’t use regularly

If you still have any stored boxes that are full, start with these and donate, dispose and recycle.

We often keep items that we never use (or need) and hide them away. Pull them out and get started there.

3. Keep what you love … or what’s useful

Long before the actual move date, start deciding what comes with you and what gets tossed using the ‘clear, sort and dispose’ actions.

Still struggling? Just remember you’re paying people to carry only the items you need, love and want.

4. Treasure your treasures

Be sure to keep the items you love safe and separate from other boxes so they don’t get damaged or lost. You could consider creating a keepsake box for each member of the family.

This will keep all their special items that we love and want to look back on all in one place.
