Have a big clear out
You can take advantage of moving to a new house to declutter and start fresh. We made sure you’ve bought boxes enough to fit in stuff and to start in each room separately. Now sit back and take a deep breath.
The steps:
-In each room identify the biggest looking object that you think has the most items. Once you have located this object start with it.
-Check if this object is also separated into different splits. If that’s the case also start with the biggest space/split
-Have a table or an empty space where you can clear out everything from that space
-Prepare different boxes and label them with a marker: You can label them how you like but make sure it is in a way you’ll understand later on. Make sure you also place a trash bag for “trash” and a box labeled ‘donations’
-Clear out the area into the empty space
-Start checking each item and place them into the rightful box.
This process is long but is needed if you are actually looking to declutter your space. This is also a good time to invite your friends and family to help out. You guys can organize all while reminiscing about the old memories you made together in this house. At the end of the day order a pizza and chill with them- another memory with pizza won’t hurt .
Let your kids help you with this process and let them decide on their items: Which tools/books they want to keep and which one they want to throw away.
Pro tip: Other than the label you choose to add on that box, make sure to write down the name of each room this belongs to. For example: Kitchen, kids room, bathroom. Also, for box that contain fragile items do not forget to mark that
