Professional organizer Nicole Gabai says anyone packing to move should begin by packing one room, rather than one category. 'One advantage of organizing one room at a time is it allows for easier assessment of progress,' she says.
'By focusing on a single room, you can thoroughly inspect it and ensure you have disposed of all unnecessary items before proceeding to the next one. This approach prevents the relocation of anything unwanted to your new home. Moving provides an excellent opportunity to declutter.'
