Put your plan <strong>to</strong> action by going around your house — closets, basements, <strong>and</strong><br />

s<strong>to</strong>rage areas, especially — <strong>and</strong> deciding what makes the cut. Once everything<br />

is sorted, start packing non-essential items (think: holiday decorations <strong>and</strong><br />

craft supplies).<br />

• Get the packing process started by assessing your closets <strong>and</strong> donating<br />

clothing that doesn't fit or you no longer want. When the closets are<br />

done, start <strong>to</strong> assess items room by room.<br />

• Do a first round of donations of unwanted goods <strong>to</strong> charity, sell items<br />

online, or have a garage sale <strong>to</strong> help pay for your move.<br />

• If you have children, work with the current <strong>and</strong> future school <strong>to</strong> transfer<br />

school records <strong>and</strong> make plans for a smooth transition.<br />

• Begin packing items that aren't used frequently. Seasonal items, rarely<br />

used gadgets, <strong>and</strong> items s<strong>to</strong>red in the attic or basement are a good place<br />

<strong>to</strong> start.
