If you are in the process of moving, things look really tough. We’ve all been there, and if you are getting ready to move, consider these tips that we have learned through trial and error.
Take care of yourself. Moves are emotionally and physically difficult, and you need to be in top condition. Eat well, drink plenty of water and get lots of sleep. If you take care of yourself, you are much less likely to snap or have a really bad moving day.
Gather boxes before you need them. You can ask for boxes from your local stores and groceries. They are often willing to give you boxes for free, and having boxes around allows you to get things packed much faster.
Set up disconnections and connections early. Call around and get your utilities in order as soon as you can. Leaving this to the last minute can lead to you not having some essential services in your new home.
Do a little every day. Moving is overwhelming for everyone, so start slow and remember that you should do only a little bit every day. This leads to progress over time, and you won’t be tempted to stop in the middle of something big.
Call in friends and family. While most of us get people to help us the day of the big move, it is also a good idea to get people in to help you pack. A fresh set of eyes can keep you feeling much more confident about your prospects.
Get rid of junk. Before you start throwing everything into boxes, sort out what you don’t need. There are plenty of people who end up moving junk from place to place simply because they never sort their belongings. If you haven’t used it or don’t need it, get rid of it!
Moving is tough, but there is no reason to get defeated by it. It is absolutely time for you to consider what your options are when it comes to a move and how you can do it well. Plan ahead, and everything will get easier.
