Plan Ahead

When it comes to mapping out your move, don’t wait until the last minute to get things organized. Pack as much as you can ahead of time, and try to go room by room to make the process seem less daunting.

Start with the items you do not need access to on a regular basis, and wait until your move is a day or two away before boxing up the things you use on a daily basis. By the time moving day arrives, you won’t have much left to do, and you will be happy you stayed on top of it from the get-go.

Some people also find out that making a week-by-week plan is a great way to ensure you don’t miss anything and that you get everything done in a timely manner.

Label Clearly and by Room

Labeling your boxes clearly and marking which room they are meant for will save a lot of stress and hassle when you get to your new location. It makes unpacking much easier, and it will help you find things in a hurry if you need immediate access to them when you are at your new home.

Keep Your Items Well-Secured

When it comes to packaging your items, simply tossing things into a box isn’t a good strategy. Consider what you are packing and ensure breakable items, like plates, mirrors, and other similar fragile things are wrapped up and packed tightly, so that they do not break in transit.

It is also a good idea to put the bigger and heavier items on the bottom and near the back of the truck or moving container you are using.

Keep Heirlooms and Important Papers Close

Some things, like birth certificates, heirlooms, expensive jewelry, wills, passports, and the like should not be handled by movers or moving companies. Keep these items in your personal vehicle and ensure they are personally transported by you to keep them as safe as possible throughout the moving process.

Most people embarking on a move are not going an incredibly long distance, so keeping these types of belongings close for a short drive to your new home should not be a challenge. In fact, in 2017, 62% of people moving did not even change counties. Do yourself a favor by stashing sentimental and important belongings near you at all times.

Take Advantage of Extra Room

Worried about running out of room? There are lots of ways for you to take advantage of extra space. Trash cans, dresser drawers, refrigerators, and similar spaces are perfect for stashing blankets and other smaller decor items or knick knacks. You will be surprised at how much room you can make with a bit of strategic packing.
