No matter how neat and tidy you naturally are, it's all too easy for clutter to pile up in your home. Decluttering before you move makes sure you enter your new home with only the things you need. Here are some ways to tackle the decluttering process:
1. Tackle each room one by one, that way you aren't overwhelmed or rushed.
2. Create a “maybe” box, for the items you aren't sure if you should donate, keep, or get rid of just yet.
3. Be brutally honest and think about the last time you used each item. If you haven't used it in the last 12 months chances are you don't have a use for it.
4. Leave the harder decisions for last, such as what to do with unused but sentimental gifts, so you don’t get frustrated with de-cluttering.
5. Odds are good your bathroom or pantry contains a few items past their prime. Before you pack anything, check for an expiration date or think back to when you bought it.
