6.0 Things to Keep in Mind while Moving your House 1. Allow yourself plenty of time. Estimate how long it will take you to pack everything and then double (at least) that number. You’ll need plenty of time to discard, sort and pack your things. 2. De-clutter first. Suggests that you make piles of items to donate, give away, or throw away. Try groups like to give away items you don’t need or can’t take to a new home. 3. Arrange for donations of the things you are recycling. Organizations will come to your home to pick up usable clothes and household items. 4. Buy enough packing tape before you start. 5. Pack one room at a time and don’t start the next room until you’re finsished. It’ll keep you organized and allow you to tackle the move in smaller steps.
