4 Smart Hacks For An Easier Move
Moving is a part of life, and it is often a stressful part. Luckily, you can reduce the stress of moving with the hacks below.
Hire a Professional Moving Company
First, as soon as you know when your moving date is, hire a professional moving company to assist you with your move. A professional moving company will make sure all your boxes and furniture are quickly and safely loaded up in a truck and taken to your new location. A professional moving company can also help with the task of packing up. You can use them to pack up all your belongings, or you can allow them to pack big and bulky items such as your furniture for you. Knowing that a professional moving team will be helping you with your move can reduce the stress of the actual moving day.
Go Through Things Now
The second thing you should do as soon as you know that you are moving is to go through your belongings. It can take a while to go through everything, and by giving yourself more time to go through your items, you will have time to deal effectively with the things you don't want to keep. You need some time to sell items online or arrange for a donation pick-up or find time in your day to drop things off at the donation center. Don't put this off until the last minute; give yourself time to take care of this task. Many organizations that will pick up your items have a schedule they use for donation pick-ups.
Start Eating Your Food
Third, you need to start eating all of your stored food, especially if you are not just moving around town. Moving food, especially frozen and fresh food, can be challenging. That is why, if you know you will be moving in a month, it is a good idea for you to create a meal plan that will allow you to eat as much of your fresh and frozen food as you can before moving day. This will reduce the amount of food you need to transport in a cooler and will make the entire moving process easier. Limit the food you have to move to primary shelf-stable items and arrange for grocery delivery when you get to your new place.
Be Smart with Packing
As you pack things up, be smart. Take your clothing from your closet and keep it on the hanger. Pack it inside of a wardrobe box. Take out your dresser drawers, keep the dress in them and wrap them up. These two steps will make unpacking the bedrooms immensely easier. Use your dish towels to wrap up other items; this will reduce the bubble wrap and paper you need to use, which will reduce the waste you have to get rid of when unpacking.
