Decluttering before Downsizing

Moves are stressful enough, and clearing can be easy, even fun if you build a steady routine over time. Start clearing clutter at least six months before a move, and leave the last two months to moving details. The truth is that even with good planning, most people bring too much when downsizing. “Aim for ease in function, not perfect organization.”
