Always consult with your doctor before beginning any physical activity! Moving requires both physical and mental stamina and can quickly become overwhelming. The physical act of moving may require any or all of the following:
- Lifting
- Stooping
- Climbing up and down ladders or stepstools
- Repetitive motions such as wrapping
Sorting through household goods is a time-consuming and mentally stressful activity as well, and it can be difficult to stay on track. Every item in a household triggers a memory, no matter how mundane. Since household sorting typically takes place only when facing a pending move date, that means that you must stay on track to be able to meet move deadlines. That means you must consider whether you can remain objective when making sorting decisions, and whether or not you can stay on task. How likely are you to become easily distracted by that walk down memory lane?
