Recoup money from old possessions
If you’re holding onto a possession purely because it’s expensive, and you no longer need or want it, you can use specialist websites to sell it, to recoup as much of your money as possible.
Declutter your wardrobe
When decluttering, ask yourself when was the last time you used or needed the item. For example you could put your freshly-cleaned clothes on the right-hand-side of your wardrobe, meaning the ones which migrate to the left over 6 months are the ones you no longer need.
Simplify decluttering
It’s not always easy to donate or dispose of an item, but having a list of questions to ask yourself about it can help simplify the process, whether you’re moving house or just trying to clean up the junk.
Get rid of what you don't need
When decluttering, you can get rid of your items by donating them to charity, selling them as second-hand online, or simply by binning them if they’re not worth anything. This will reduce the distractions the items can bring, and reduces the mental clutter.
Declutter what you don't want
Some possessions carry emotional meaning or memories. If they’re not good memories, or you’re not so attached to them that you’d want to box them up to take if you’re moving house, consider getting rid of them when decluttering.

We are more productive when organised
People working in an organised environment are able to be more productive and focused than someone working in a disorganised setting: you can concentrate better if your space is tidy and organised.

It’s common for a fear of the unknown to accompany change. Feeling fear about change does not mean that change is bad — what seems frightening at first may well turn out to be for the best.
Accept what is beyond your control
To handle changes in your life, you need to accept what is beyond your control and focus on your own internal transition to the new reality.
