Even if that means staying up until 2 a.m. to finish packing for your move. Our number one piece of advice: **don’t panic**. It's okay that you waited to the very last minute to **pack up all your stuff**, really. Everything will be okay. **BUT **now it’s time to channel that inner **beast mode** that pushes you to accomplish a range of tasks in a short amount of time, as only a true procrastinator can.  To help get that inner beast mode in gear, we found some** Amazing Tips** that have more information than you could ever think to ask about. So, take a deep breath and let’s get started. **Posted By:** [Spruce.com](https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-last-minute-move-2435777) ## [How to Move Quickly When You Have Less Than a Month](https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-last-minute-move-2435777) By Diane Schmidt ## Sort Your Stuff **Get rid of junk.** The great thing about last-minute moves is that you tend to be ruthless in how you sort and pack. And this is a good thing since the [more stuff you get rid of](https://www.thespruce.com/best-apps-to-sell-your-stuff-quick-4150618), the less you have to pack and move which equals less time and energy. Some people think that to save time, they should just pack everything they own and sort later. Not so. Get rid of as much stuff as you can – that’s rule #1! **Make three piles.** Go through each room and separate items into three piles: 1) Stuff to keep 2) Stuff to donate or sell online or at a garage sale and 3) Stuff to recycle or toss. If you haven’t used it or worn it for a year, give it away or toss it. Get the whole family involved by having them follow this rule and sorting through their own stuff. My own personal rule is, if, when deciding whether to keep or toss something, if I hesitate, I toss it. ## Ask for Help Call on: 1) friends and family and/or 2) professional services. Family and friends are always anxious to help out. Just make sure that before you enlist their support, you have a clear idea of what you need them to do. Packing stuff in your “to keep” pile is a great task as is the job of getting rid of the stuff you don’t want to keep. ### [[Continue to Original Article](https://www.thespruce.com/how-to-last-minute-move-2435777)] ## Beast Mode Engage!
