Take Control Of Your Preparation Time
It is extremely important that you plan every aspect of your move. You must manage your time well until your move-out day. Create a personal moving checklist to help guide you throughout the preparation stage and populate that moving calendar with personalized tasks that relate to your specific relocation circumstances. Next, sort those moving tasks out in order of importance to help prioritize what needs to get done first.
Get Long-Distance Moving Estimates
Professional movers have the equipment and knowledge to pack and transport your belongings over long distances without the fuss. Make sure you receive estimates from numerous moving service companies to ensure you are getting the best price possible for high-quality work. Working with a moving company will be more time-efficient, will require you not to worry about the heavy lifting, and will save your vehicles from the wear and tear of moving large furniture pieces. Relocation service providers will allow you to focus on other aspects of your move such as transferring transcripts for your child's school, or finding a new family doctor in the area you are moving to.
Divide Responsibilities
If you are planning to move, you do not have to do all of the work yourself. Divide up tasks between family members in your home or friends who are willing to help you pack up. It will be too daunting if you try to complete all of the packing on your own. Assign your kids to pack up their own rooms, or assign your in-laws to take care of the garage. Every little bit of help makes the process go much smoother and less overwhelming.
Inventory Your Home And Throw Away Unused Items
Over time, you can collect a lot of belongings that either go unused or are simply forgotten about. As you are packing, create a pile of items that you will be leaving behind and another pile of the items you wish to bring with you. This will help you mitigate how much packing needs to be done and how many boxes you will need. It is much easier to purge through all of your belongings before you move into your new home so that you can unpack more efficiently.
Start Packing As Soon As You Can
Many people (especially first-time movers) do not understand how long it takes to pack everything into boxes. It may seem like a quick task that will only take a couple of days at most, however, it is much more time-consuming and can take many weeks, even months to complete. Once you know you will be moving, it is never too early to start packing. Depending on how much you have to pack, try to start at least 3-4 weeks prior to the move.
