Moving Organization Tips

By Lillian Trevorrow


Moving to a new home can be stressful and time consuming. Many people dread moving, especially after having lived in the same place for an extended length of time. The longer you have lived in a place, it seems, the more you own. But for anyone relocating, there are a few simple things you can do to keep from getting overwhelmed. Here are just a few.

Don't Put It Off

With the many daunting tasks of moving, it inclines many people to put things off to the last possible minute. With so many things being processed at once with a move, it is hard to figure out where to begin. Something that can be a big help is to start all of the processes early on in the setup of the move. Planning and organizing how the packing will go will help reduce the actual packing time. Unpacking organized boxes is loads easier than trying to sort through boxes that were packed quickly. You find how many boxes were actually just filled with little knick knacks and trinkets, mostly things that you wish you hadn't spent time packing. Over the course of many years, you find that you have too much to actually fit it all in your house. If you can get into preparing for your move as soon as possible, then you can give yourself stress-free time to be able to toss out old things that you won't have room for in the new house.

Know What to Expect

It is stressful having to move to a new location that you have never heard anything about. Sometimes, there are easy same-city moves; but moving states or even countries can pose an even bigger challenge. The weather in all different states has different trends, so it would be good to know the region that you'll be moving to. In some states, it can be freezing cold and hot in the same season, so if you're moving to a state like that then you know that you'll need different types of clothes to stay comfortable throughout the year. If you can visit the place you are going to move to before you move there, then you can get a feel for the weather and see what kinds of clothes it would be good to keep or to get rid of. Also, calling nearby moving companies that can give you tips on when the best time to move would be.

Pack A Bag

It may sound like a simple thing but several people forget to pack themselves a bag to hold them over until the day that they unpack. It only adds to the discomfort of moving when you realize you accidentally packed all your clean underwear in a box in the middle of a moving truck. Packing a bag before you move can save you the trouble and the time it would take to dig through the all your packed boxes and undoing all your hard work.

After that, you are all ready to try for the least stressful move of your life!
