Moving home is a mammoth task that requires organisation. If you decide not to plan or take things as they come, you might regret your decision. Whether becoming a new homeowner or renting your tenth apartment, you can simplify your life. Planning can make the task seem less daunting and give you a sense of control. Although the task will never get smaller in size, it can get easier in terms of stress.
Your life doesn’t need to be too stressful when you move. It’s an exciting time, so plan your best and make the most of it.
Ready to dive into the home moving stress-busting tips? Let’s go!
You don’t need to move everything yourself
While you might want to be in control, it is best to let professional people help with your move. Tackling every task yourself is asking for stress.
Whereas, if you let people step in and do things on your behalf, you’ll be laughing your way through the move – we hope.
Asking a local removals company to move your goods will mean you can get on with other things. You don’t need to do heavy lifting or panic about how to move your expensive mirror. The experts will handle things and move everything from A to B – even to the exact room in the new house.
Make labels your best friend
Labels will become your best friend during a smooth home move. Without labels on boxes, how are you supposed to differ the kitchen supplies from the bedroom accessories?
Adding labels to your boxes will make your life a million times easier when it comes to unpacking. Removal professionals can move the boxes. When they are in the new home, you can locate what you need and spend half the time unpacking. It will be so frustrating to take all the kitchen boxes upstairs and realise they need to be on the lower ground level.
Never leave things until the last minute
If leaving things until the last minute sounds like you, you need to make a change. You will experience the most stressful home move when you leave things late.
Organising bills, removals company, labels, and more ahead of time will make sure you have everything in place for the big day.
Pack an emergency essentials box
A box of essentials is going to help you a lot when you move home. If you pack your toothbrush, pants, and other essentials away, how are you supposed to live day to day?
Most home moves will involve a few days of needing to live without access to everything you own. So be sensible and make an emergency/essentials box so you have access to things you need.
Lists will be your safety net
Lists will be as friendly to you as labels. Being organised comes with lists. You can use them to plan your tasks, tick things off, write new ideas, and make everything as organised as Marie Kondo’s life.
