I’ve collected quite a lot of stuff since moving two years ago. While this move included more stuff, it was not as great a distance as my last move. Both moves seemed equally difficult.
One of the blogs I subscribe to on google reader really helped a lot with my move. I’m talking about Unclutterer. I somehow knew I would be moving to a smaller place, so I took to reading this site and its new posts adamantly. The attitude there is refreshing. While a part of me wants to collect the latest and greatest toys, I don’t always like to let go of things I’ve used in the past. This blog has helped me reduce the amount of clutter and get me somewhat more organized before and after the move. Thanks, unclutterer!
Still, I had lots of things I wanted to keep that wouldn’t fit in my new room in my friend’s house. So I rented a 10×10 storage unit, and started moving boxes and smaller things in my car about two weeks before I actually had to be out of my apartment.
All my furniture I moved with a U-Haul truck in two trips: one to storage and another to my new room. The day with the U-Haul was a long one. Many thanks to my friends that helped.
