If you have things that you no longer find to be beautiful, valuable, or useful, you should get rid of them before you move<\/a> to your new home. There\u2019s no sense packing them and moving them just to realize later that you wish you\u2019d decluttered sooner. Here\u2019s a quick guide to decluttering you can do before you start packing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have a Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are like most people these days, you have a lot of stuff. Stuff from your life, your kids, your parents, or grandparents \u2013 all this collects and fills your home and storage space. Going in without a plan can lead to feeling overwhelmed. Decide if you want to go room by room, by category, or some other method. Be clear with your plan and your intentions for what you want to declutter and why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start Early<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start removing the excess stuff as soon as you have an idea that a move is in your future. Giving yourself lots of time will help you move through your belongings thoughtfully, ensuring you only ditch what no longer serves you. Rushed decluttering can lead to stress and regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decide What to Do with Your Things<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will you do with the things you choose to get rid of? That\u2019s an important question when decluttering. There are different options depending on the items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
