Give yourself plenty of time before your move and plan out different days to go through each room of the house. Simplify the process by focusing on one category at a time.
Decluttering is about removing the things we don't want. Minimalism is about discovering how little we actually need.
Scan old paperwork and photos and store them on your computer or use your cloud storage.
Letting go of physical clutter also declutters the mind and soul.
Many of us are guilty of having multiples of items. Coffee pots, blenders, even bikes. We don't need duplicates. Just keep one.
Owning less is better than organizing more.
Toss (or recycle) everything that’s broken, falling apart, no longer works or doesn’t fit — all the stuff you’ve been meaning to throw away but never got around to.
Think about it this way: If you had to evacuate your home in an emergency and could only grab a few things, what would they be? Which of your belongings are most important to you?
The feeling one feels after decluttering and minimizing is like a breath of fresh air.
