Dear Organizer ...
 
Help ... please! Moving is always so stressful ...

We have no idea where to start or how to deal with all our "stuff." We're moving to a new home, and our move date is approaching fast. How can my family and I simplify this project and organize all our possessions that we're sorting and packing?

"Relocating Rita"


Dear "Relocating Rita,"

Here are just a few quick tips that will save you a lots of time and money ...

1. The average full wardrobe carton weighs 75 pounds. If you've been keeping clothes that no longer fit or you don't wear for other reasons, donate them to your favorite charity.

2. Have you kept toys, games, golf clubs, tennis rackets or other sports or hobby equipment that you no longer use? Toss broken items and donate useable articles.

3. Your library of books and magazines can be expensive to move. Explore mailing your favorites rather than moving them. Schools and libraries always appreciate contributions of these items.

4. For items that you pack yourself, use easy-to-manage
records storage boxes (stackable, cardboard or plastic, with handles and lid). These are one of my most favorite organizing "tool" -- Perma® Stor-All® Storage Boxes, 10" x 12" x 15", letter/legal size, white, pack of 6 available at a reasonable price.


Happy Organizing,
Donna
