Overview
Just like any major decision-making or an idea needs a plan to be executed properly, de-cluttering also requires a step-by-step process to be incorporated effectively into our packing routine! Have you thought of any specific area you would love to start with? Is it your living room, bedroom, Or, Kitchen space? – Whichever area it is, you should ensure to follow it up with a proper strategy. For instance, you can have a look at the following guide for de-cluttering your home before the move:
• Think of the process: When you have decided upon your moving date, you should not delay preparing your goods to be packed and moved. Avoid rushing into the entire thing all at one go, proceed gradually – for extensive households – this may take a few weeks to a couple of months, whereas in the case of a relatively smaller household with lesser items – this could happen in a month as well . The best part is giving this enough of your time so you could consider fairly as to which ones to keep and which ones to discard.
Once you know the process, you can get into it systematically!
• Begin with your choicest room for the purpose – this could be any space like your kitchen or bedroom. You can begin with either the most complicated section or the simplest corners in your home.
• Some of the items that you can consider for de-cluttering include: Old Magazines, Stationery items, DVDs, Cassettes, Plastic containers – bowls, plates, spoons, bottles, tumblers, old and broken appliances, worn-out clothes, bedding, and other linen supplies, mattresses, curtains, rugs, and covers, apart from the old and excessive beauty equipment, accessories, expired cosmetic products, toiletries, and medicines, etc.
• Once you have checked in the prominent places in your home, make sure you look into the backyard of your home, the terrace storage area, the storeroom, and the miscellaneous items including tools and hardware supplies, broken parts of some appliance or device, unneeded old office documents, and files, etc.
• Follow it up with distinct piles: Once you have gone through all of your items, in each of your rooms, make sure to prepare piles where your items would go – for the items that you want to keep, the ones that you wish to sell, while the rest of the items that you have thought of donating and discarding! You can put up a moving box and a trash bin around you while you are sorting your belongings so you can keep throwing up the unnecessary items into the bin and keep stocking up on the items that would move with you before the packing specialists – Agarwal Packers and Movers!
• Choose and decide cautiously: While you are looking into each of your items one by one at a go, you might end up feeling confused as to whether you need one item or let go of it! But, we advise you to choose mercilessly and keep aside your emotional side for a while. Certain goods and possessions like old key chains, gifted articles, artefacts, collectibles, etc. could appear tempting to you for no reason – may be because you have sentiments attached to those things but think like this – have you used it in the last year? Do you have any plans of using it in the coming future? –find answers and then decide accordingly. For all your old and out-dated clothing or other damaged furniture items – which either won’t, fit in properly in your new space or simply would burden your move and raise your budget unnecessarily could be discarded or sold! You will always have the option of getting one in your new home!
• Keep in mind the ‘Less is more’ formula: De-cluttering is not meant to be worked out when we are planning relocation, it is a life-long phenomenon we should follow to live a simple, sorted, and well-organized life. If you are moving into a new space, you do not necessarily have to multiply your household items; just ensure you have the needful ones with you! Often in the excitement of moving to a new home, we tend to collect as many items as we recently discarded ahead of the move, and ultimately gather a lot of things out of nowhere. But, we should bear in mind that this subject has more of a psychological impact on our lives because when we de-clutter our living space, we:
• Reduce stress and worries
• Live peacefully
• Learn positivity
EndNote
If you are up for a future move and are overwhelmed with the number of household goods and belongings at your place, you should de-clutter your space at the earliest and breathe easy! All you need to do for that is do a thorough inspection of your belongings closely, so you can come up with the things that are unnecessary and not worth carrying to your new home by any means! But doing all of this would consume a lot of time and you would be drained out by the final shifting date, for sure. So make sure you appoint the packing and moving experts - from Agarwal Movers and Packers!
