Tips to make moving easier

Tips to make moving easier 

Moving is stressful! The key to a successful move, is being prepared! Here are a few tips for making your moving a little bit easier.  

1. Don’t procrastinate. 

Getting started can be difficult.  The idea of moving and packing up all of your belongings can seem overwhelming,but start by taking baby steps.  Pack a few boxes a day and pace yourself.  If you pace yourself, you’ll be more organized and it will be so much easier when you get ready to unpack everything into your new home.  

2. Pack room by room 

Keep everything from each room together and label your boxes properly.  This will help tremendously when moving into your new home.  

3. Designate a donate box 

As you sort through your belongings, place all of things you no longer want in one box, that way when you’re all done….. all you have to do is pick it up and drop it off at your donation place of choice.   

4. Use a box cutter to create handles for your boxes.  

5. Keep all of your essentials in an overnight bag, so you don’t have to sort through boxes to find your toiletries, clothing, etc. 

6. Pack the items you’ll need immediately like bedding, towels, soap etc. in a clear plastic bin labeled “open first” 

7. Take a photo of how your electronics are connected so you can remember where all the wires go.

8. Change your address at least two weeks prior to moving 

9. Make your last grocery trip two weeks prior to moving 

10. Schedule disconnect times for your cable, phone, and internet about one week prior to your move.

11. Pack your cleaning supplies last.  

12. Have enough snacks handy to get your through moving day!
