Create a moving checklist
Writing down everything you need to do for your move will help reduce the stress leading up to moving day. The best thing to do is create a moving checklist that will help you stay on track with your packing and any other tasks that need to be complete. Topics that are beneficial to have on the list could include researching and hiring a moving company, cleaning out spaces, packing, etc. If you need help creating a moving checklist, take a look at these steps.
Pack in advance
Once you know you will be moving, start blocking off time in your schedule to pack. It’s best to start packing the room that you use the least. Packing in advance will help ease the stress and give you time to go through your items so you’re not doing it all at once.
Pack by room
Packing room by room will not only help make the packing process more manageable; it will help you keep similar items together, too. That way, when it’s time to unpack those items, they’re all together, and you don’t have to go through a ton of different boxes to find what you’re looking for.
Label all the boxes
Before you tape up the box, make sure you have a marker with you so you can easily label what’s inside. It’s important to label all your boxes so when they arrive at your new space, you and your moving team know what’s inside and where they should go. Thoroughly labeling all the boxes will make the unpacking process easier because you will be able to identify what needs to be unpacked right away and what can wait a little.
Items to keep with you on moving day
While you’re checking items off your packing list for your move, you want to make sure you set certain items aside so you can have them with you on moving day. Items like medications, important paperwork such as birth certificates and social security cards, and anything that is very valuable or sentimental like jewelry, credit cards, bank account information should be kept with you on moving day. You will want to place those items in a box or bag and keep them with you, so you know where all the information is when you get to your new place.
