Moving is a good time to declutter because every item has a cost: packing, carrying, storing, unpacking, and finding a place for it.
Before you pack
- Create tags for each area: #bedroom, #kitchen, #desk, #storage, #bathroom.
- Add obvious decisions first so the board feels less overwhelming.
- Move items into Pack/Keep, Sell, Donate, Trash, Store, or Unsure.
- Export the list and use it as your action plan.
Moving-specific questions
- Will this fit in my next space?
- Is this worth packing and carrying?
- Can I replace this cheaply if I need it later?
- Does this belong to my current life or an old version of it?
Suggested tags
#pack, #sell, #donate, #fragile, #first-night, #storage, #maybe, #sentimental
Use the board image export before packing day. A visual plan is easier to follow when you are tired.
