How to Declutter Before Moving into Smaller Apartment: 21 Things to Throw Away

If you are moving into a smaller apartment first, you should find an efficient way to declutter your home because it would help you find out what you should trash before moving. Less stuff means easy to move. When you arrange a moving company, decluttering makes your packing and unpacking task easier. You can not only save time and money but also avoid stress by getting rid of excess stuff.When you are moving into a smaller house, you should eliminate things you no longer needed due to the necessity to open more space than for aesthetic reasons.

Decluttering on the entire apartment can be a tiresome task, mostly if you have lived there for many years. You probably accumulated a tremendous amount of items, and you might also drag your feet to smooth them away. So it's overwhelming and hard to be sure where to begin.

Many people enjoy decluttering because it relieves stress by providing a sense of control and accomplishment. For others, removing the unused items frees up extra space in the house. Some people may need to purge before they move to a new place. For whatever reason you do it, decluttering will change your life positively:

- Your home will function for you correctly.

- You will feel calmer in your home and spend less time cleaning

- Finding your stuff will be easier than before

The early bird gets the worm.

If you begin timely, you will have plenty of time to declutter each space before moving thoroughly. Under intensive work pressure, you can do it for a few minutes each day. It will start slowly, but It will be easier by progressing from one closet to the next, from the drawer to the drawer.

Keep what you do need.

 First, gather belongings. After sorting through every room, there are many ways to eliminate items before moving quickly. Divide them into three piles:

1-Necessary things that you cant leave: keep them

2-A few bucks worth of useless items: sell them by a garage sale or online

3-Felicity of donation is worth more than any amount of money: donate them

4-Trash the others.

While sorting your belongings, if you have problems, ask  yourself these questions:

-Where will it go to my new home?

-Will it fit in my new home?

-Have I used it in the past year, or when it used last?

-Is it damaged or in need of repair?

-Do I have more than one?

- Will it cost more to move than its worth?

-Is it indispensable? Or KonMari's question: does it spark joy?

-Do I like it?

-Can I easily replace it later if I need it again? 

- Does it serve a useful purpose in my life?

-Does it work properly?
