Packing up to move house is torture for my brain

It’s boring and I keep getting distracted. What’s your tips for moving?

@AlchemyFox A part of me would like to ditch everything and start fresh! I’m too sentimental

@Notladylike best advise!! The dump is your friend!! Lol
@Lowkey Yes! I love a good dump run.

@Notladylike or recycle! You wear 20% of your clothes 80% of the time!
@Lowkey Yes I’m donating a heap!
Have you tried whistling while you pack?
Whistling and tapping my toes often helps me.
I may even throw in the occasional jazz hands to keep things interesting 👐
@Ghostinthemachine I’ll give it a try
@Notladylike if you really do give it a try, I absolutely guarantee it will work

But only for seven seconds.
Then you’ll need more wine

I feel this. 😪
I just start packing up as early as possible so there's less stress on the day.
@DearAmbellina2113 Good advice! I’ve been doing a bit each day so I don’t get too overwhelmed and just have a huge meltdown.
Sort when you get there. Tying to pack + declutter can drive you mad.

drink till you forget how boring it is
@Torsten I’ve had a few wines
Sell everything you own.
trust me, you don't need most fit.
Throw out as much as possible
@BiasForAction That’s the goal

Have a big house yard sale

@Notladylike and you make money
@NinaTina This is true. But it also means I have to deal with people which is less appealing.
NinaTina · 26-30, F
@Notladylike you got daughters or cousins? Let them set it up and do it and give them some of the money. Then what's left over call goodwill or a thrift shop and have them pick up the leftovers

I haven’t moved in 17 years so I have no tips for you. Sorry 😭
@iamonfire696 Oh wow that’s amazing! I think 3-4 years is the longest I’ve lived anywhere since I left home at 17.

@Notladylike I bought a house and haven’t moved lol

I hope you get through it okay. If I do move I will be cursing for sure

Just shove everything into boxes willy nilly and go through them latter.
MethDozer · M
@Notladylike No, because you have to go through them later either way
@MethDozer Genius!
NinaTina · 26-30, F
@Notladylike and alway mark THIS ROOM on every box

decluttering so you only move the necessities
@tenente I need a professional declutter person! But that’s not going to happen so I’ll have to try lol
