The Big Mistakes to Avoid
Starting too late
Nearly half of Americans say moving is more stressful than divorce. Waiting until the last minute only multiplies that stress and leads to sloppy decisions.No plan, no timeline
Decluttering without clear goals often means bouncing between rooms and never really finishing anything. Experts recommend planning at least 8 weeks out.Trying to do everything at once
Decluttering your entire home in one sweep usually backfires. Room by room keeps momentum and sanity intact.Underestimating the kitchen
It’s consistently the hardest room to pack; small items, fragile pieces, food, and awkward storage all slow people down.
What Actually Works
Declutter room by room, not house by house
Start with easy wins (old papers, unused items, visible surfaces)
Use the 4 Cs: Clear out → Categorize → Cut out → Contain
Label everything clearly
If space is tight, temporary storage can buy time and reduce chaos
