Organization is key to maintaining peace of mind throughout the process.Now, let's break down the essential steps to prepare for moving day. First, evaluate and declutter your current belongings. Go through each room systematically and decide what to keep, sell, donate, or discard. This step not only lightens your load but also reduces moving costs, as you'll have fewer items to transport.
