Moving is tough. It comes with excitement, nerves, nostalgia, stress… and a little chaos.
Okay, maybe a lot of chaos! Honestly, it’s probably one of the most stressful life events out there.
Between packing everything up and figuring out logistics, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But it doesn’t have to be.
When you declutter first and bring in pros like Junk Destroyers to clear out any old junk, your move can be way more manageable.
Even if you’re only moving a few blocks, cutting down on stuff before the movers arrive means less to pack, less to carry, and less to stress about. Plus, summer is prime moving season in Northshore, so there’s no better time to lighten the load.
Why It Feels Like So Much Stuff Piles Up Before a Move
It sneaks up on you. One box turns into three, and suddenly your garage looks like a thrift store exploded.
Life gets busy. Things get tossed into closets, shoved under beds, or “temporarily” stored in the basement. Fast forward a few years, and now you’re face-to-face with stuff you forgot you even owned.
Sure, some items hold memories. But do you really want to bubble wrap that lava lamp from college or haul that lumpy futon into your new place?
Didn’t think so.
Your No-Stress Decluttering Checklist
Ready to ditch the extra weight before moving day? This checklist is your go-to guide.
Start small, pick a room or category, and don’t look back. Remember: every item you leave behind is one less thing to pack, load, and unpack later.
- Furniture that’s seen better days
- Noisy or broken appliances
- Cracked mirrors, busted lamps, dried-up paint
- Toys, gear, or décor you haven’t touched in years
- Garage “treasures” collecting dust
- Expired pantry items and bathroom clutter
- Duplicate tools, dishes, or random gadgets
- Clothes and shoes stuck in the back of your closet
It might seem like a lot, but once you get going, you’ll really start building momentum!
