Quick Moving Tips to Remain Sane

1. Plan Ahead

If you think that planning for your move on the day is going to work out, then think again. Don’t expect to be able to get a moving truck on the day of the move. While this is possible sometimes, it’s unlikely, if you want to rent a moving truck, call well in advance. This also goes for moving supplies, make sure that you can get what you need ahead of time, and we recommend picking up the supplies a few days in advance. You may also need temporary self storage, so book that as well!

2. Pre Clean

And by pre-cleaning, we mean to go through everything that you own and throw away or store the items that you don’t need. This will not only lower the costs of moving, but it will save tremendous amounts of time. This is a great time to get important family items together and make sure they are well looked after.

3. Label The Boxes

What to save a lot of time when you unpack? Make sure each box is labeled with the room and person the items belong too. Even better, we have seen people color-code their moving boxes to make things easier to identify. Especially with an aging loved one, having clear labels can help immensely.

4. Clean Before You Arrive

The most underrated tip is cleaning your new place before you arrive. If you do this step, your new place will feel fresh and newer longer. It’s quite the hassle to attempt to clean around moving boxes etc. You can also take this time to perform any needed repairs on your new home. Making a few extra sets of keys as well always helps, plus if you paid for movers, the cleaner the place, the easier it is to move in and out.
