Moving is notoriously stressful, and you can feel as though your entire life is being turned upside down in the process. No one is pretending it’s easy. However, you can make it as hassle-free as possible by following some helpful advice and tips along the way. There’s no secret formula to make moving a breeze, but being organised and starting early is certainly going to help you on your way to enjoy a hassle-free move.
If you’ve moved before, then you may well be dreading the big day as you remember the difficulty of last time, but remember to stay calm and approach each task one at a time.
Moving Professionals
To take some of the pressure off, consider using movers who know exactly what they’re doing. You needn’t worry about renting a van and driving across the state yourself – they’ve got you covered. It will save you time and effort, and even money if you know where to look.
Consider looking through movingcompanyreviews.com to help you get a better understanding of what moving companies can offer you both in-state and out of state. Once you’re all packed up, be sure to label boxes with stickers that will alert moving company to the fact that some boxes will contain fragile items. This way, they can take extra care when transporting them.
One Room At A Time
If you’re daunted by the thought of clearing out all of your belongings in one go, then approach each room of the property one at a time.
- Break the task down into manageable sections and try and get one room packed and ready to go each day.
- Keep a box at the corner of the room to fill with regularly used items so that they don’t get lost in the move and prove difficult to find when you need them. When you can see ground being covered step by step, you’ll begin to feel far less tense.
Leave The Kitchen Until Last
The kitchen will take time to deconstruct and arrange safely into crates and boxes, so tackle it last. Plus, you’ll want to be able to use the appliances and crockery while you’re still moving to make meals. The kitchen will contain many breakables in the form of plates, mugs, and drinking glasses, so think twice about having them packed up and left on the floor for you to accidentally knock into and place boxes on top of.
Create A Checklist
If you’re continually thinking of more and more tasks that need to be completed during the boxing up, and it’s likely that you will, then note them all down before you forget. Write them down in a notebook and review it each day to ensure that you’re making your way through the list.
Alternatively, if you’re moving with your family and want to keep track of what’s being done by whom, then put a large whiteboard up onto the wall and erase tasks once they’re complete. You’ll all be able to see where each person needs to be, and what duties have been allocated to them.
