It’s finally moving out day! The chances are that you can’t wait to unpack your things, decorate your new place, and host your first home party – everything’s fun and exciting. However, with it comes the worry about the time and effort you need to pack your things and move them to your new place. Moving out undeniably requires hard work, but fortunately, there are simple things you can do to cope with the stress of moving! In this article, we share five handy tips to help you make your moving-out process easy and stress-free.
1. Start your packing early
While you may convince yourself that you have enough time to pack your things even at the last minute, it is often not the wisest thing you could do for your future self. Ideally, it would be best if you did not take packing early for granted – it gives you ample time to organise your things and throw or sell the items you no longer need. Getting rid of and packing your belongings early means you have fewer items to move later, so invest your time in packing early to reduce the stressful process of moving out.
2. Always stay organised
An organised packing process can significantly increase your efficiency on moving days. Ensure to organise all your boxes by room, label every item, and keep a list of items separately. Moreover, organising your belongings saves you a lot of time when it comes to unpacking and arranging your things in your new place.
3. Don’t be afraid to ask for help
Packing all your belongings is a big task, so it is understandable that you may need an extra pair of hands to help you get started. Besides hiring or renting a truck and movers to help you with your move, you can always ask for help from friends or family to get as much help as possible. Furthermore, extra helpers are always bound to assist you in getting the job done quickly – especially the time-consuming tasks, such as packing up your kitchen cabinets and lifting heavy objects. All in all, don’t hesitate to ask for help, but it would also pay to show your appreciation when the job is done!
4. Develop a plan
Moving is by itself a daunting enough task; you can always make the process easier by developing a plan. You can start by creating a checklist of the essential tasks that need to be done. Organise these tasks based on priority – which tasks are to be done immediately and which can wait a couple of days. A checklist can help guide you through your move and ensure that everything is noticed.
A helpful tip: begin your list from the vital furniture down to the small things.
5. Pack now, sort later
If time is not on your side, don’t worry about keeping items together! Put things where they fit, as long as they are packed safely and securely. You can deal with sorting your items once you unpack your belongings in your new home. That said, it can be helpful to consolidate things by room, at least, so it’s easier to arrange them later or find items quickly.
