Moving is chaotic and stressful. It’s not synonymous with fun and excitement. Just imagine going through your hundreds or so of things and it’s enough to increase your stress levels. But there are ways for it to be less stressful and that is through decluttering.

You can try these tips for successful decluttering:

1. Get your containers and boxes ready

You can hit two birds with one stone and start packing some of your stuff while decluttering. But to make the process a lot more efficient, you should have some containers ready. Prepare a container or a plastic bag for things that you can donate or throw away and the others are containers where you will keep the things that you wish to transfer to your new home.

2. Give yourself plenty of time to work through your stuff

Don’t take on the challenge of decluttering a lifetime’s worth of stuff in just one day. These things take time. So, give yourself plenty of it to ensure that you don’t get even more stressed out. Prepare at least two weeks for decluttering.

Make sure you divide and conquer your tasks. You can designate one day for decluttering your bedroom and another for decluttering the kitchen. That will make it more doable and less overwhelming.

3. Take out all your things and put them on a surface

It’s much easier to select and categorize if you have them laid out in front of you instead of removing them from their containers one by one. This will also help you see the bigger picture. If you see how much stuff you really own, you are more likely to be motivated to let go of some of them.

4. Go through a couple of questions when deciding which ones will stay and which ones will go

When deciding which of your stuff should be removed and which ones you will bring to your new home, ask yourself a couple of questions first. Do you already have one with you? Have you used it in the past 2 years? Will you use it again in the near future? Does it still work with your lifestyle and needs? These are just some of the questions you should ask.
