To keep your moving day comforting and free from stress, declutter your life before you start packing. The good side of moving is that it forces you to get rid of things you do not need anymore or the stuff you didn’t even know you owned. Just remember that the fewer things you move,the cheaper it is, when hiring a moving company and easier if there’s less to pack if you move yourself. This article reveals tips to reduce clutter when moving out.

Tips for moving out

Purge when moving out

Sort your belongings into three sections:

• keep,
• sell
• or donate.

The less you take with you, the less you pay. Before starting the packing process sort through your things carefully. If you didn’t use the thing for at least half a year-you definitely don’t need it.  As you go through closets and drawers, drop each item into one of the three boxes accordingly or make notes on your sheets. Parting with some things is never easy.

How to make a final decision plan when moving out

Write down some key questions for yourself, that can help you decide what should move with you and what should go. Sorting will save your time and money.

For example:

• Have I used this item in the past year?
• If I was shopping right now, would I buy this again?
• How much space does this item need?
• Am I saving this just in case?
• Could something else I own do the same job?
• Will this match my new decor?
• Do I feel obligated to keep this?

Before moving out Tips

Organize a garage sale before moving out

There’s something about going through someone else’s stuff, and most people can’t resist a garage sale. Garage sales are a great way to kill two birds with one stone. You get rid of things you don’t need and earn money at the same time. Invite your neighbors and friends and spend a fun time together! It’s also a great way to lighten your moving truck and make some money at the same time, money that can even pay off your move.

Sell your stuff online

One more option is to sell your items online: Use e-Bay or Facebook Marketplace to post well-made pics of things that someone else might be needing!

Look at moving out like an opportunity for charity

Donate the items that you don’t wish to sell. Coats, blankets, gently used clothing, furniture, office equipment, and kitchen appliances can often find a new home.
