You’ve found your dream house after weeks of searching. While you are excited, the stress of packing and moving may start to creep in. There are several things you can do. Take a look at these seven tips to help you move less stressful.
1. Plan your day
To stay organized, you should make a move plan before starting. You will have enough time to hire movers, reserve a truck rental and pack everything. To keep everything together, you can create an online document or a moving folder. This timeline will make the move less stressful, both financially and emotionally, and prevent headaches in the future.
You can use a moving checklist to keep organized and stay on track with your plan. You can find many online moving checklists that will guide you and remind you of tasks you may have overlooked. Many of these lists are already organized according to how many weeks you have left until moving day. We also recommend creating a list of tasks that you can add to as and when you remember them. You can keep this in your phone’s notepad or a small notebook that you carry around.
2. Use Labeling Systems
Consider creating a system for sorting your personal and valuable items before you start packing. Use different colors or numbers for visual organization. Label your boxes with the contents and destination, along with if they are fragile. Write this information on both sides of the box to make it easy for you to identify where each one belongs. You will avoid having a truck filled with identical boxes that you have no idea what is inside. Take the boxes straight to the room where they belong. This will make moving into your new house even easier. You will thank us for saving you time and effort when unpacking.
3. Prepare Your Bags Ahead of Time
When planning a move, time is a major factor. It can be overwhelming to see your laundry list if you do not give yourself enough time. Once you have decided on your labeling system it is time to begin packing. As a general rule, you should start packing at least two weeks prior to your move. Pack items you don’t use often first, and save more commonly used items for the end.
4. Ask for Help
Asking for help is something that everyone can benefit from. Don’t hesitate to ask your family or friends for assistance. Reaching out for assistance will reduce the stress of moving. Hosting a packing party with your friends is a fun way to ease the stress of moving.
5. Focus on one room at a time
Staying organized can be made easier by going through each room in your house one at a time. Pack rooms that you don’t frequent as much, like guest rooms and dining rooms. As you near moving day, begin packing the rooms that you spend the most time in.
6. Hire a Professional Moving company
It may not eliminate all the stress that comes with moving, but hiring professional movers will take a lot of it off your shoulders. Do your research before you hire movers to ensure you are hiring a service you can trust.
Different options are available. A full-service mover will handle the entire process, while others are able to pack and transport only your special items or appliances. It is important to ensure that you have insurance and an inventory of all your valuables if you decide to hire a professional moving service.
7. Pack your Overnight Bag
It can be difficult to locate certain items once you have moved into your new house. Pack an overnight bag to avoid having to search for items the first few nights in your new house. You will have plenty of time for unpacking your items and sorting them out.
