9). Before starting downsizing and de-cluttering, sort your items
You should categorize your items from the four main areas in your home, which include the living room, kitchen, dining room, and bedroom. These areas contain most of the bulk of the items in your home. Identify the property with sentimental value to you and those that you do not require. You can sort the things to keep and those to give away to friends and family. When you are through with the four main areas in your house, you can now pay your attention to other departments such as bathroom, garage, and store. Ensure you only keep the items of high value to you as you plan how to dispose of the things that you do not need in your move to a smaller house. You should not move with goods that have no meaningful use in your smaller home to avoid congesting it.
