First of all, you must recognize that organizing all of your belongings and moving into your new apartment would be a complex and time-consuming, but not necessarily unpleasant, task. It may well take a number of hours to sort out all of your possessions and organize them in the best possible way. You are likely to find that you would have to look through your cupboards and boxes that have been stashed away for years as you conduct your search for the items that you 'couldn’t do without'. Naturally, as space may be limited in your new apartment, you should only take along the belongings that you would really need. Don’t be afraid to go through heaps and piles of items as you look for your must-have possessions.

During your organizing and moving process, it would be advisable to group the similar items that you would discover as you look through closets and other storage spaces together so that you can create some sort of order. In other words, you could create piles of items that have similar uses and functions. For instance, you may make piles of items like clothing, accessories, cutlery and ornaments, or subdivide them further if necessary. In this way, you would be able to clearly assess how much you have of each category, and also figure out how much of each you could retain in your new apartment.

As space could be limited in your new apartment, there would possibly be many things that you couldn’t keep with you in your new abode. Accordingly, you shouldn’t be afraid to identify the things that you really wouldn’t need in the years to come. These could include articles of clothing that you would be unlikely to wear or perhaps trinkets that you now have no use for. A guideline that you may follow would be discarding and giving away any item that you haven’t made use of for six months or more.

When it comes to the items that you have decided to keep, a good way to organize them would be to sort them into containers, boxes and folders using clear labels to distinguish them. For instance, if you happen to have boxes of business receipts and vintage yearbooks, labels could be used so that you could easily identify one from the other. However, you wouldn’t have to purchase a costly label maker in this regard; you could instead purchase affordable blank labels which you could fill out with a pen or marker. In this way, your possessions could be conveniently organized.
