Moving is a very stressful process, as anyone who moved house can attest. The stress can be made much worse if you live in a house that is full of clutter and possessions you no longer need. To reduce this stress, the key is to declutter your home far in advance of moving day. Even if you are not moving house but want a clutter-free life, the following suggestions will be helpful:


If you have a house brimming over with stuff the thought of sorting through it can feel extremely overwhelming. So, instead of thinking about the task as one enormous undertaking, think of how much you can do in a short time. By way of example, you could take a short amount of time each day to sort through a few items. Why not arrange them into three piles? One pile can be for items you will keep, another pile for items you want to donate, and a third pile could be for items to sell at a yard sale. Doing it this way will not only help you feel less overwhelmed, but it will also enable you to dispose of your things in an environmentally friendly way.


There are some decluttering tasks we dread to do, which is often why stuff accumulates in the first place. One such task is clearing out the garage. The garage is where we generally keep items like used chemical containers, old paint cans, batteries, and even outdated electronic equipment. Items like these need to be disposed of correctly, and not just thrown in the garbage. Before sorting these things out, find out the best way to get rid of them and where you need to take them – this will make the job a lot less daunting.
