Every time I packed up another bag for trash or donate, I thought to myself: "Here is another box worth of stuff I don't have to pack, carry, pay to move, unpack and then store". "Cut deep, cut wide" was the motto I used. Our new apartment is only 1350 square feet, so I had my work cut out for me, but I welcomed it. This move, we were downsizing to half the size. More space?, less space? I make a loose plan about what to keep and what to sell. I do this every year also when we are not moving, but when I know we am moving, I cut a little deeper.Īs I am going through this process, I am already thinking about the place I am moving to. Get rid of everything you don't love or use. Only keep what you really use and what makes you happy.
Go through all cabinets and drawers, including the ones you are moving with you and sort into sell, donate, trash or keep. And I do start a couple of months before the move itself, to plan everything. Of course careful planning needs to take place to pull this off. But if it only takes a week, you are back to your regular life in no time.
I think one of the reasons some people don't like to move is that they let it drag on and on and on. Packed into 71 boxes in 7 hours over the course of 2 days.Īnd I have done it several times, with this proven system. I want to share it because for the past couple of moves I have fine-tuned it and I now know I can pack my house in those two days, spending about 3 and a half hours a day on boxing it all up on average.
