There are many exciting things to look forward to when moving into a new home: having a fresh start with a new space, decorating the rooms as desired, and making lasting memories with family and friends. But one of the more stressful aspects of moving into a new house is packing up the old one.
Doesn’t it seem as if your personal possessions have inexplicably multiplied when you are in the process of packing? You open cabinets and closets you haven’t touched in years, and you constantly find items that you forgot you had! It can certainly add to the tension and stress if any residential move.
But let’s not forget that just because something exists in your current house, that doesn’t mean that you have to bring it to the new house. Moving is the perfect excuse to organize your items and ensure that everything that comes with you can be easily arranged in your new space.
Here are a few ways to purge your old, forgotten items for your upcoming move!
A List Will be a Lifesaver
The process of organizing can be an intimidating one—especially if you’ve lived in your house for a long time! We find that making a list is a great place to start with this ambitious undertaking.
Before you even begin going through old boxes and storage areas, write down general areas/items that you think could easily be left behind in the upcoming move.
Evaluate what you Have
It would come as no surprise that since the last time you moved homes, you have accumulated a good number of extra things. If you have additional items that you haven’t used in quite some time, this is the perfect place to start when it comes to organizing and purging for your upcoming move. Broken, unused, or inconvenient items can be donated or disregarded.
Don’t Be Afraid to Say Goodbye
Don’t overthink it—if you can’t remember the last time you used that possession, or if you are even debating if you should keep it or not, don’t hesitate—get rid of it!
If you really want to stay ahead of the game, this step can be accomplished before your current home even goes on the market and potential buyers tour it!
Organize What you Keep
With this step, think ahead as you pack—make sure your boxes are organized by room, owner, or whatever system is easiest for you to quickly access it and put it in its rightful spot in your new house.
