In theory, the best time to declutter is when you\u2019re moving house because you literally have<\/em> to tidy up. If you don\u2019t, you won\u2019t be able to move and you\u2019ll lose a lot of time and money \u201d\u201c it\u2019s as simple as that.<\/p>\n However, the pressure created by a house move is a blessing and a curse. Pressure, as with most activities, is a useful tool to force you into action, which is especially useful if you\u2019ve got rooms in your home you really don\u2019t want to tackle.<\/p>\n On the other hand, pressure forces you into snap decisions on your stuff. That might sound like a good thing, but it deprives you of the time to make an informed decision on whether to keep or sell an item. The chances are you\u2019ll keep most of your stuff to decide on at a later date if you\u2019re moving into a bigger home; in effect, you\u2019re moving your clutter from one house to another!<\/p>\n If you are planning to declutter before moving house, make sure you give yourself plenty of time before the big move, come up with a realistic plan of action and don\u2019t use extra space as an excuse to keep your clutter!<\/p>\n Let\u2019s start this section off with a question: do you really<\/em> want to spend your precious weekend tidying up?<\/p>\n Most people, if they were answering honestly, would say no. No-one wants to spend their free time cleaning up when they could be watching football, spending time with friends or…well, anything that doesn\u2019t involve spending Saturday and Sunday knee-deep in clutter.<\/p>\n However, this is based on two misconceptions: that decluttering takes ages, and that you have to clean out your whole house at once.<\/p>\n![\"mm-declutter\"](\"http:\/\/192.168.3.178\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/mm-declutter.png\")
