Start with the next home
Before sorting belongings, understand the size, storage, accessibility, and furnishings of the new home. This makes decisions about what to keep much easier.
Sort with a simple system
- Keep what will be used in the new home.
- Set aside items for family or friends.
- Identify worthwhile items to sell or donate.
- Discard or recycle items that are no longer usable.
- Keep legal documents, medications, valuables, and sentimental items secure.
Plan the move
Work backward from the move date, schedule manageable sorting sessions, confirm movers and community requirements, and prepare essential items for the first day in the new home.
