Ready to leave Appleton? You will likely need the services of an Appleton moving company to help with transporting your property. Before the movers come in, you need to get organized. You might find yourself staring at all your possessions wondering, what to keep, and what to throw away. It would be best if you decluttered before the moverscome in.

Decluttering helps you save costs and time when moving. Before you move, you need to have an idea of the size of your new house. It will help you know how much stuff you need to part before moving. Don’t wait till the last day to start decluttering. The earlier you start, the better. It would be best if you started at least a month before you move. To help you through the decluttering process, follow this simple checklist.

Throw Out Your Trash

Start with throwing out all the trash in your house.

Decide What To Do With The Extra Stuff.

What are you going to do with the stuff you decide you don’t need? You could discard them as your other trash. These will mostly be useless items that nobody could use. The good stuff could be sold. If you decide to sell some things, you can sell them online or locally. If you are feeling generous, you could donate some items to charity organizations. Do you still have some items you can’t trash, sell, or donate? Give these to your family member.

Call In Help

If you are having a hard time decluttering, you could ask your friend or family to help you sort out your items.

Sort Through Your Items.

Keep garbage bags and boxes ready for this process. Now that you have decided what to do with extra stuff come up with a category. For example, you could have five categories:

1. To keep
2. To donate
3. To sell
4. To trash
5. To give to family

If you are a hoarder, organize your items in these two categories: things you need and things you can’t live without.

You will sort your items based on the categories you choose.

Sort Room By Room

We recommend sorting room by room. Decide which room to start with, you should begin with the fullest room. In every room, start with clearing the storage areas. Move the items from the storage, placing them in their categories. If you have a hard time deciding whether to keep or let go, you could ask yourself some questions like; do you love it? Is it worth the cost of moving? Have you used it within the past year?

Keep in mind that you mostly only need one of everything; except for clothes, of course. To sort through your clothes, let go of those that don’t fit anymore, are out of trend, or no longer wear. If you have to, try them on to know if you still fit in them.

Don’t Forget To Label.

Label all your boxes clearly. The label should show the contents of the box, and the destination of the contents. For example, “Books: Library.” Clear labeling will save you time when unpacking in your new house.

After you have decluttered and packed your possessions, call in the moving company.
