When you plan to relocate to a different location, then the first thing that you have to do is to declutter your entire home so that there will be only those things left at your end that you really want to take along. By sorting out the items, you will be able to save a lot of time, money, and effort. After that, hire top movers and packers in Hyderabad to manage your move most professionally. They will take care of all your belongings and handle the packing and shifting tasks with ease. Meanwhile, you can concentrate on the more essential tasks. But, to make the packing task simpler for yourself and your movers, you must purge your items beforehand. And, the right time to do this is when you finalize your moving date.
Here are some of the most important pointers that will assist you in decluttering and organizing your home before shifting.
Things to keep in
mind before decluttering
1. Planning: Ensure to
plan everything including which room to declutter at first and which should be
purged at the last. Likewise, you can make a list of the items that you would
need for the process of packing like boxes, bags, tapes, bins, labels, cleaning
products, etc. Plan about the items that you are going to remove from your
house; you can either throw away the items, sell them, or donate them to the
needy, everything would require proper planning.
2. Start purging room by room: Make sure to adopt a systematic approach for purging your home. Go
by each room and declutter. This is the most sensible technique of purging.
Start with the most less-used rooms like guest rooms, attic, etc. Assign
roughly around one week to each room as per the difficulty level and number of
items that you have in that particular room. This can be a challenging task if
you do it on your own and that too, without any help. You can make it a fun
activity by asking for help from your friends or family.
3. Pack your items alongside: The best approach would be to pack your items alongside the
purging process. This will save a lot of time and energy. When you have finally
decided what to keep along with you and what not, it would be better if you
pack the essential items simultaneously. In this way, you will be able to
easily manage the packing of the entire belongings. Leave the routine and
most-used items for the last day to pack in your essential bag. The rest of the
items can be packed along with the purging process.
4. Take proper measurements: It is essential to take the exact measurements of the items, especially
the bulkier ones as when you choose to move them along with you, you must know
the worth of relocating them. It is important to take the measurements of your
new home too so that you can easily evaluate whether the items you are shifting
will get perfectly fit inside your new space or not. If they will not fit in
the new space, then there is no point in shifting such a heavy item rather you
should sell that out and buy a new one at your new home.
5. Don’t spend much on new things: There is no point in spending pointlessly on new things and
filling your home that you are about to relocate. When your shifting date is
decided, be sure to stop spending and piling up things in your house as it will
only increase your moving cost. This also includes the food items as you won’t
be able to move all the food items along with you. Make sure to get rid of all
the things that are expired and you can even donate the food items that are not
expired but you won’t be able to finish them up till your relocation date.
6. Don’t linger upon old memories: There will be a lot of items that you might come across while
shifting which let you swoon into your old memories. This emotion is
unavoidable but try to hold back when you go through such a trip down memory
lane. It is highly essential to analyze which things you want to keep for the
sake of sentimental value and which you can afford to leave behind. Keep only
those things with which you have strong connections.
7. Make a pile of things: If
you have not heard about “The Maija Method” of organizing stuff, then here is
the best way that she uses for decluttering your home, which is making
different piles. Segregate the things and put them under each pile such as
keep, sell, store, trash, shred, donate, and recycle.
8. Get your kids involved in the process: Involving your kids in the process of decluttering is the best way to decrease your burden of packing and shifting. They can help you by sorting out their belongings. Whatever they want to take along, you can let them pack those things in boxes and whatever they want to leave behind can be either tossed, sold, or donated. For instance, if they do not play with some toys, then you can ask them if they want to keep them or not. If they don’t, then you got your answer.
Conclusion
Asking your packers and movers in Hyderabad to pack your stuff is quite easy but if the things are already sorted, then it becomes convenient for the movers to pack and shift your belongings within minimum time.
