1. Set a time frame
How long do you have before moving out? The time you have will guide you on how long you should take to declutter. If you have two months before moving out, you could spare two weeks for decluttering.
Now that you will have a time frame set, allocate the days you will be spending on each room. This will, in turn, help you do things systematically and avoid the last-minute rush.
2. Declutter room by room
To avoid overworking yourself, declutter a room at a time. Items that have accumulated a lot of dust or you have never used for about six months or so count as clutter; get rid of such. Decluttering a room at a time will ensure that you do not leave any clutter around hence saving you a lot of space in your new home.
3. Learn to let go
Sometimes we hold on to things that we don’t really need in our homes. While we acknowledge that it may be hard to let go, you need to learn to do so. For instance, if you have an extra fridge in your storage room that you have not been using and are still stuck with it, you can as well let it go. Instead of having it lying around in your home, you can give it out to someone who will put it into use.
