Preparing for Your Move

Moving can be one of life’s most stressful events—but it doesn’t have to be. Follow the tips below for a smooth move.

Planning the move

  • Reduce your load. The less you have to move, the easier it will be. Hold a garage sale for the stuff you don’t need.
  • Establish a packing system. Write down everything important, and use a number system to keep track of what box is what.
  • Think about storage. If you are moving into a smaller place, you will need to store what you can’t bring.

Packing for the move

  • Pack in order. Pack up the stuff you use the least first. The less you use it, the earlier you should pack it.
  • Keep your essentials at hand. Keep one box or drawer for the first day essentials like a tooth brush and a change of clothes. Pack this box last and unload it first. Don’t forget to keep cleaning supplies out if you have to clean the place you are leaving.
  • Have more supplies then you think you need. People often underestimate how much moving supplies they will need—especially boxes. Gather up twice as many boxes as you think you will need. You won’t regret this!
  • If you have pets, keep them at a friend or relatives place. Not only do they tend to get in the way, but the move is often quite stressful on pets.
