One of the major move management tasks when moving house is deciding what will stay (or more so be thrown out) or go on with you to your new abode. The Key is Less is More…Below are some helpful tips by Professional organiser and Full service moving and packing team – Mooving Matters to help make your move a easier and more time efficient process.

So Where to start? – Make a list of places or areas in your home to declutter. To get started always begin with the easiest or smallest place to get you on a roll in your movement management process.

Let the cull begin! – Firstly sort your mess or belongings, anything from books, clothing, nic nacs and toys. Work with a 4 category system of: Keep – Throw – sell or Give away – Store. Then if you have no time to pack get Moving Matters in to do the ‘Ultimate move’ experience; full service packing and moving of your home and cherished items.

Take 5 – If you are busy and time poor just dedicate 5 mins a day to sorting your household items as noted above or each day choose to fill 1 garbage bag or an item to say goodbye to. Then you be totally stress free and can get movers that pack for you could do the rest.

Don’t use it? Then Lose it – Try the “Hanger Experiment” to identify wardrobe pieces to clear out;

1. Hang all your clothes with the hangers in the reverse direction.

2. After you wear an item, return it to the closet with the hanger facing the correct direction.

3. After six months, you’ll have a clear picture of which clothes you can easily discard.

Let’s make it interesting? A great move management game is to take the 12 – 12 – 12 Challenge: Locate 12 items to throw away, 12 to pass on to a charity and 12 to keep or store.

Be storage savvy – An essential tip sworn by movers that pack for you, is to purchase vacuum storage bags for cumbersome seasonal clothes and linen / blankets and boxes or containers that can fit neatly under beds or on top of wardrobes to place rarely used belongings.

But all these Bits and pieces!? – Place important loose papers and documents in folders or document boxes and small but always useful items in zip lock bags or tins. This will make the process headache free and faster for Moving Matters the movers that pack for you.

Achieve the Minimalist look – If selling your home, make it more appealing to buyers by storing clutter or excess sentimental items off site or hire pod type temporary storage solutions.

Move management – Declutter Tips for every space

Declutter Misson #1 – The Kitchen

When decluttering your kitchen, the best place to start is with the items that take up the most room; pots, pans, plates and containers – throw out any chipped or cracked crockery and any pots or pan with broken handles or heavily scratched surfaces . If you can’t find lids to plastic containers then throw them out as they are pretty much useless. Your pantry is usually hiding some ancient items so check use-by dates on cans and bottles of food and discard accordingly. It’s always a good idea to sort pantry cupboards every quarter to 3 times a year to keep things under control.

Declutter Mission #2 – The Bedrooms

Are your wardrobes bursting at the seams? Number one rule is to only have seasonal clothes hanging in your closet. If there aren’t enough shelves in built-ins, utilise storage systems for inside the wardrobe and compartmentalise those messy large drawers, for example keep your best lingerie separate from everyday underwear.

Declutter Mission #3 -The Family room and or kids play room

Make it easy for your kids to help you keep the home tidy and ready for the movers that pack for you. Make sure children have easy and accessible spots put their toys away when they’ve finished playing with them. That means boxes or containers without lids so their 2 little hands can manage the task.

Declutter Mission #4 – The Bathroom

Are your drawers and cupboards filled with disused bottles of shampoos, soap, shower gels, discarded make-up etc? Move management 101 – When it comes to clearing out first take everything out and getting rid of anything that isn’t being used. There are numerous storage systems to make bathroom essential easily seen rather than lost and forgotten!

Wait a minute, is it really that easy? Packing and unpacking your everyday and cherished items is actually more of an organised art, just talk to the professional organiser Sydney,  – Mooving Matters your movers and packers. “We constantly see people making vital errors …..first off procrastination settles in….. “She will be right” ….. “No worries s it’s a no brainer” These are the first fatal mistakes of an amateur home packer.

Mooving Matters are the movers that pack for you! We are your full service packing and moving specialists that can look after your move management needs from start to finish, even managing the removalists who have been hired for the big day! When packing and moving using incorrect boxes, not taking the right care with fragile items to not being organised and preparing themselves time wise you are creating the the perfect storm ….a disaster in waiting. Its all about move management and inside knowledge, the professional organisers Mooving Matters of Sydney have been doing this collectively for over ten years . “Our business model allows us to employ the best in the industry … Why? Because we treat our staff with dignity and respect … this creates the perfect situation of having the best employees on offer !”

Mooving Matters, the movers that pack for you recommend the following DIY packing and moving tips:

1. Declutter! – Move management always starts with reviewing your current belongings. As decluttering services experts Mooving Matters recommends if you haven’t used an item of clothing it in months or years or can’t see yourself wearing it again look to pass it on to friends or a charity. By reducing or culling your household items and belongings before the move helps tremendously in lightening your load and reducing your time or movers time & and will certainly save you money during the pack and unpack.

2. Seize the moment! – When you know you are going to move… start the pack as soon as possible by sorting and or packing items you don’t use daily or weekly so that closer to move date just the essentials as kitchen, bathroom and the larger furniture items are left to tend to.

3. Label it! – The more organised you are the smoother the move will be…Look to label boxes with where they are to go in new home and also include a basic description of its contents.. For example “Main Bedroom – summer clothes”, this will make it much easier for the movers that pack and unpack for you. Another tip is to try and write on the actual packing tape or label rather than on the box. Boxes in good condition can be reused or bought back by the movers or removalists.

4. Boxes ain’t Boxes! – Use the right materials, strong packing boxes and creates and packing tape. If packing yourself don’t take the cheaper avenue and risk by using hardware store or supermarket boxes, unfortunately they are never strong or durable enough, this is a golden rule in move management. And take the word from movers that pack for you – forget about wrapping your wine glass wear and fine china plates in newspaper, its messy and leave an imprint on everything, white butchers paper and bubble wrap are clean and safer method!

5. Urgh I packed my tooth brush! – Keep it simple and hassle free and pack a few boxes of essentials these can include things you will need for the first night in your new home. Items it can include are toiletries, bed linen, food staples and small appliances as the kettle. Ans then you can leave the rest for the movers that pack for you!
