Get Organised

For your upcoming house move, before you start packing stuff, there is some very important preparation and planning required. Getting organised is one very important part which cannot be missed.

Do you regularly have trouble finding things when you need them, or are reluctant to throw things out, even when they’re broken?. If your home feels a little chaotic , its time to get organised and regain a sense of control before an upcoming relocation or Home Move. If you want avoid chaos and headache after you have moved all your stuff, and want to save on moving costs, you must follow the below advise.

The box Method

Start going through the house in a systematic way, room by room, or if that seems like an insurmountable task, just clean out one drawer or shelf per session. Dump every-thing on the floor, then apply the clutter test to each item, sorting into six boxes as you go. Finish one room and then move on to the next.

• Put away the things you want to keep.
• Throw away anything that is broken or cannot be fixed, reused, recycled or given away.
• Get rid of clothes that do not fit, gifts you do not like and will never use, books you do not value and appliances you never use. Donate to charity, give them away to friends, or sell them at a garage sale on on eBay. Always remember the more stuff you have the higher costs to move. Removalists charge by the hour and cost can quickly go up in no time.
• Set aside items that need repair, but be realistic – will you actually fix it ?. Otherwise put it in throw away box.
• This is the “not sure” box, where you store anything you’re not sure about. Before deciding ask yourself : Is it in good shape?; Do i really need it? ;Has anyone used it in the past year ? ; Would it be hard to replace it? ; Is it sentimental value to anyone ?.
• Clearly mark all the boxes with a marker, or use color coding.
• Mark box with fragile and breakable things very clearly, so you know when to be extra careful.
• Some things are required as soon as you reached your new destination, try to pack them in a separate box and clearly label it, and load it at the end, so you have access to it immediately.

Jewelry packing

• To protect precious pieces against scratches and tangles, keep them seperate from each other.
• Do not wrap pearls in cotton of wool, as the extra heat this generates can dry them out and cause cracking.
