The Minimalist Move: How to Lighten Your Load Before You Pack

Allowing yourself to adapt to a more minimalist style for moving is a great way to downsize on both your future clutter and packing efforts. The first task to tackle should be sorting through your items in order to develop three different piles: recycling, trash, and donations. Organizing through the items beforehand and getting rid of what is unnecessary will allow you to lighten the load overall, while saving you the stress of organizing the items after you unload.

  • Donating old items to local charities is a great way to rid your future home of clutter in a compassionate manner.
