So, you have moved into your new place, now what?

One of the most traumatic things you do in your life is move. What to keep, what to throw out. Well, as a interior decorator in San Diego, here are a few tips:
1. Do you need all those cables and manuals?- Toss
2. Clothes you haven't worn in the last year- Toss
3. Photos- keep - those are the things you can't replace
4. Old hard drives- destroy

This is what I base this on from personal experience, I lived in Florida and had to evacuate.
What to take in such a little time- photos, food and leash for the dog, cat litter for the cat, cash, and your tax returns- YES, the tax returns, try to explain a receipt you lost to the IRS- they don't really care. Most important- TAKE digital pictures of everything!!
