How to Declutter Before a Move

A room-by-room plan to move less and stress less.

Start where it's easy

Begin with storage areas like the garage and closets. Sort into keep, donate, sell and haul away.

Use the one-year rule

If you haven't used it in a year and it isn't sentimental, it probably doesn't need to move.

Schedule the haul early

Book junk removal a few days before movers so the truck only takes what you're keeping.
