When was your last move? Or is it your first? It’s amazing how much we can accumulate in just one year. Moving\u2014even though it is mentally and physically demanding\u2014provides an opportunity to sort through our belongings. Entraide diab\u00e9tique du Qu\u00e9bec gives you 5 good reasons to sort out your belongings to get ready for your move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First of all, we mustn\u2019t under-estimate the magnitude of the task. It’s so easy and common to accumulate a lot of clothes and various objects over the years, so when the time comes, stay calm and proceed one step at a time. Before you begin, plan to take the time to keep the essentials in order to reorganize your home for the long term. Moving is just one good reason to finally get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5 reasons to declutter before your move<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n All reasons are good ones to do a good sorting out of your belongings, but these five reasons are non-negligible when it comes to a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few tips and tricks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Sometimes, the pre-moving sorting is emotionally demanding. We advise you to be ruthless and to do a more “drastic” sorting by devoting a few whole days to sorting out your belongings. The gradual packing method doesn’t always work: the proof is that we often have to start over. Being firmer with yourself will enable you to be more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, imagine your ideal living space and visualize it. Moving gives you the opportunity to “start over” and reorganize your decor to create a cozy little nest that reflects your own style, both aesthetically and practically. Think about it\u2026 what kind of interior suits you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n And lastly, be inspired by the KonMari method (see our article on the subject<\/a>) and understand your motivations. Do you have to make room for someone, have a more minimalist space, be more relaxed and sleep better? Also avoid getting rid of only what is useless, but keep what makes you happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, whatever the reason for decluttering your space before you move, sorting out the clothes and small items you no longer wear or that are stored all around your home gives you a chance to make donations to EDQ.
