Moving Made Easy

Moving used to be easier when we would have a bunch of friends willing to help and a small apartment that never had a lot of stuff, to begin with. You could pack all of your things in a couple of boxes, and then take a few car trips back and forth and be officially moved into your new place by the end of the day. Those are simpler times when we are still young and making our way into the world. However, as we grow older and start having our own families and settle down into houses then moving from one house to another starts becoming trickier because you have a lot more stuff now and you are responsible for making sure that it all moves safely to the new house. Plus the number of friends and family willing to help you move tends to dwindle as you age.

At the end of the day, the only thing you can do here is to rely on yourself to help you make it through the next few weeks. Of course, you want to make sure that you have a good moving company to assist you as well because they are ultimately responsible for transporting all of your things from your old place to your new house. You want to opt for a moving company that is licensed, insured, and, transparent with you. You want to be able to go over the fine print of their contract and be sure that you will not be given any extra charges later and that you can trust them to get all of your things back to you safely and on time. However, you should always have an overnight bag with you when you do move into your new house so that you are prepared to be able to make it through the first night or two just in case there is a delay on your moving company’s part. This is especially important if you are going to be making a long-distance move.

Having a good moving company will help to make moving easier for you. However, there are also many things that you can do to help make moving easier for yourself.

• Always fix your moving date in advance. Doing this will help you prevent unnecessary delays and will leave you with no choice but to keep working because the moving date will always be playing in the back of your mind.
• You want to make sure that you deal with everything beforehand, and by this, we mean getting everything signed, approved, and dealt with when it comes to your real estate related work. You want your real estate agent to guide you through everything and make sure that you get all of your paperwork sorted beforehand to avoid any problems later.
• Start changing your address or at least notify everyone about the change in your address beforehand so that you do not end up with your parcels, letters, etc. in your old address long after you have already moved. So updating your address early on is always a good idea.
• Always declutter before you start packing for your move. The purpose of decluttering is to help you sort through all your things and separate the things you do not need or use from the things that you want to take with you to your new house. This way you do not have as much packing to do, and similarly, you have fewer things to unpack and set up once you are moving into your new house. So always declutter your things to reduce unnecessary hassle for yourself. Plus there are other people that can benefit from the things you do not need so always donate things that you know are still in good condition and can be used with ease.
• Your boxes need to be specific and you should be able to identify what is inside each box. This means that you have to carefully label what each box contains. As a general rule of thumb, you should always mention whose box it is along with the contents inside, and in case the contents are fragile, then you should write down that the box is fragile in a large area that can easily be seen by the moving company later on. This will prevent any hiccups and problems later once you start unpacking and are trying to find specific things.
• Lastly, do not feel the need to immediately unpack once your stuff reaches your new house. You can take your time. You will get nothing out of tiring yourself other than added exhaustion and frustration.
