As we all know moving home is considered one of the most stressful things that we can do, so I find any tips I can read on helping me take the worry and stress out of any situation a massive help, so today is all about the importance of decluttering.
I’m moving homes myself at the minute and the thought of it overwhelmed me at times, with what I was going to do with all of my things that I’ve collected over the last 50 years of my life! In fact at times it reduced me to tears!
So me being a practical, a very organised, can’t live without a list kind of person, tackled it in this way. So I dealt with the shed first, I created piles in the garden, throwing it away, definitely keeping, not sure, selling, giving it away. Then I moved onto the garage, then the house and I’ve yet to go up into the attics, it amazed me what stuff I’d accumulated, but what an amazing feeling!
On moving day, I know I’ll only be moving the items that I am definitely keeping, which will fit into my new home better, be more organised, keeping the removal costs/stress to a minimum and a completely fresh start.
