MORE SPACE

One of the main reasons that you want to declutter before moving into your new home is space. When you move into a new home, you want to enjoy the freshness of being there and not having to deal with the clutter that you brought from your former home.

And when you declutter, you'll find that you've got more space to put other items within the home.

GETTING RID OF THINGS, YOU DON'T USE

Think of decluttering your home as spring cleaning because it gives you the time to get rid of things that you no longer use. And when you get rid of these items, you don't have to throw them out.

Instead of trashing them think about donating them. If giving to others that are in need isn't enough for you, donating can also be used as a deductible when you file your taxes.

MOVING IS LESS STRESSFUL

When you're moving, it can be stressful having to pack everything and figure out a way to get it from one place to the other. When you declutter your home, it reduces the amount of stress you feel in having to decide where all of your items will go.

The last thing you need when making a move to a new home is stress about where and how you're going to get all your stuff into your new place.

GET STARTED EARLY

Don't wait until the last minute to begin going through your items. Start early to give yourself time to work through each item and decide what to keep and what you'll be giving away.

Waiting until your moving deadline to begin sorting through things will cause you to become more stressed out and take the enjoyment out of the moving process.

SET SMALL GOALS

Instead of tackling multiple rooms at a time, set smaller goals for yourself. Set aside a couple of days during the week to dedicate to sorting through one room.

And once you've accomplished that goal, you can set another goal to get through the clutter in another room. We encourage you to have packing supplies on hand as you continue decluttering and packing each room.

When decluttering you can also use the Marie Kondo method, which means you organize things and tidy them up based on category. This can help you to get things done quickly without feeling overwhelmed.
