Getting ready to move? Are you overwhelmed by the amount of stuff that has accumulated in your home? It really is amazing to see how much we gather in one place, especially over an extended period of time. Take heart. You can find a place for everything and handle this job without too many headaches.

Buy portable storage units
You can always go with portable storage units at your new property. This is an affordable way to take care of any overflow until you have the time to sort through all of the excess items. Your most essential items will be placed in the house and will be your first priority. Once you have them in place and you've taken a breather, you can take on your belongings in the storage unit. After you're done, you can decide if you have use for the portable unit or sell it.

Rent a storage unit
If you know that you're not going to have room for everything in the new house, yet don't want to get rid of certain belongings, you can always rent a storage unit. Find a facility that you like. Some have better security and conditions than others. You'll also find that some storage unit providers offer units in various sizes, assisting you in finding one that is the right size for your possessions.

Take advantage of the basement, attic, and garage
If your new home has any additional space that is dry, you can always store items until you are ready to find a place for them. The basement, attic, and garage may offer you options. At some point down the line, you'll be able to go through your boxes and see what can come out of storage.

If you don't need it, let it go
As you go through all of your belongings, try and find things that you can part with. Give items away, make donations to local charities, and hold a rummage sale. Lighten your load before moving day arrives. You save yourself extra frustration as well.
