From Clutter to Clarity: A Local Guide to Decluttering Before You Move

September 30, 20252 min read

You've built a life in your current home—20 years of memories, milestones, and let’s be honest... a whole lot of stuff. For many Central Ohio homeowners, decluttering is the biggest mental and emotional barrier to making the move they know they want.

If your home is in a neighborhood like Laurel Canyon in Pataskala or Fenway neighborhood in New Albany, you may be sitting in a beautiful house that no longer fits your needs—except it’s bursting at the seams with decisions you haven’t made yet.

Let’s break the process down into manageable steps, with local resources that can help.

Step 1: Get Clear on the Vision

Are you moving into a high-end patio home in Westerville? A new build in New Albany close to Hannah Park? A modern condo in the heart of downtown Columbus? Once you visualize what your next space will look like, it becomes easier to say goodbye to the things that don’t belong in that future.

Step 2: Use the “5-5-5 Rule”

For each room, ask yourself:

·        Have I used this in the last 5 months?

·        Will I need this in the next 5 months?

·        Would I buy this again for $5?

If the answer is “no,” it’s time to let go.

Step 3: Donate Locally

Don’t just toss it — bless someone else in our community. Consider:

·        New Albany Neighborhood Bridges for gently used furniture

·        Granville Thrift Shop for clothes and housewares

·        Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Newark for building materials or fixtures

Step 4: Bring in the Pros

I work with trusted local organizers and moving coordinators who specialize in working with Central Ohio homeowners during transitional seasons. You don’t have to do this alone.

Step 5: Celebrate Progress

Every box you pack is one step closer to your dream lifestyle. Whether that’s less housework, more travel, or a home that just feels right—you’re making room for what’s next.
