Moving is an exciting time, but we all know that it’s stressful too. Let’s face it—nothing makes you want to stick your head in the sand like the prospect of packing an entire house.
Grab a few trash bags and find anything that belongs in the bin.
If you did the interior decorating exercise mentioned earlier, keep it handy and refer back to it while decluttering.
Another easy tip is to think about where you’re going to put things in your new house. I recommend this to everyone, but it’s especially important if you’re downsizing and moving into a smaller home.
Whenever I’m packing (whether it’s for a big move or a short trip), one thing that I do is walk through my everyday life and think about my daily routines.
