5 Useful Tips to Make Your Moving Day Easier
1. Create a Moving Checklist
Making a moving checklist may appear intimidating initially, but once you get the hang of it, it proves useful throughout the moving process. It will encourage you to make necessary arrangements and pack items in advance. Moreover, a moving checklist will keep things organized and save you from worrying that you might be forgetting something. You can keep adding essential tasks to it as they come to your mind.
We advise you to make reservations for a moving company two to four weeks before your move day. You can consult them during packing and regarding necessary bookings for moving day. Maintaining a checklist will come in handy when dealing with all these tasks
2. Label your Boxes
Color coordinating or labeling boxes will eliminate many of your worries on moving day. Feeling paranoid when movers lift your delicate belongings left and right is natural. Knowing which boxes contain items that need to be handled carefully during this time can prove quite helpful. Â
After you have moved to your new place, the labeling will help you unpack in a much more organized and convenient manner. You can also keep track of your belongings during the moving process in a better way through this technique. Following this tip will take much less time and energy to set up your new place.Â
3. Keep the Essentials in your Reach
Moving days can be chaotic and hectic, considering several things are happening simultaneously. It can put you in a topsy turvy state of mind, making you forget essential documents and items like legal papers and phone chargers, which you cannot afford to pack in cardboard boxes. The best way to keep your essentials in your reach is to put them together in a backpack.Â
As an example, here is a small list of things you should keep in a separate bag:
- A fresh pair of clothes
- Laptops, cellphones, and other important electronic gadgets
- Chargers and power banks
- Personal folder containing your passport and legal documents
- Keys and wallet
- MedicationsÂ
4. Milk the Opportunity to Declutter
Moving to a new place brings a golden chance to declutter and get rid of items you no longer like/use. It will save you from additional packing and make your new place look more spacious and airy. While packing your belongings, make a pile of things you want to donate or sell. It is wise to visit your new place a few weeks before the move and assess if you will bring all your old furniture.Â
Get everyone in the family involved and allot each member a box they can fill with items they want to donate. Next, you can look up trusted organizations and charities which accept clothes and household items. Clearing out such belongings can offer you a unique sense of calm and peace.Â
5. Make Arrangements in Advance
One key tip from our moving company is to reserve all elevators, loading docks or private areas for adequate periods in advance. Order packing material, and contact your utility companies to schedule an end to the services. Timely schedule wifi, cable and phone installation at your new place for your moving day. Arrange street parking for the moving trucks beforehand as well.Â
You can add all these as priority tasks to your moving checklist so they are dealt with urgently. It is also wise to stay in touch with your local movers as they might know better about such things.Â
