Every move comes with one big question:
Should I take this with me… or just get rid of it?
If you’re sorting through boxes of memories, inherited items, or simply things you don’t use daily, the answer might not be that simple. And that’s okay.
This guide will help you figure out what to keep, what to toss — and what to store temporarily so you don’t have to decide just yet.
You don’t have to throw away memories to make space
Let’s be honest: Not everything fits into your new place — but some things don’t belong in the trash either.
Old love letters, childhood toys, your grandmother’s porcelain set — they might not match your minimalist kitchen, but they still matter.
Good news: You can keep them. Just not necessarily at home.
The Three-Box Method: Simple, effective, proven
Before your next move, try this system to sort your belongings like a pro:
🟩 Box 1: Keep
Everything you want to keep — either for emotional or practical reasons — goes here.
🟨 Box 2: Give away
Things you no longer need but are still useful for others.
Donate, sell, swap with friends or family.
🟥 Box 3: Toss
Broken, outdated, never-used stuff? Recycle, donate — or toss.
Still unsure about some things in Box 1?
Use the 6-month rule:
Store it for half a year.
If you don’t miss it, it might be time to say goodbye.
Think emotionally. Store practically.
Some items don’t belong in the new apartment, but they’re still worth keeping — just not under your bed or stuffed in a damp basement.
If you want your items to stay in great condition, they need:
- A dry, frost-proof space
- Safe storage away from theft, dust, mold, or pests
- A flexible setup in case you want them back one day
No time, no van, no energy to deal with storage?
