How to Plan a Move Based on Your Lifestyle

Moving has always been stressful, but a move that doesn’t match up with your lifestyle can add even more to the stress! When planning your next move, make sure that whatever pack-up-and-go style you use works for you and your schedule. Here are our best tips for ensuring that your move is as stress-free as possible:

Packing Up

1. Plan ahead! If you know that a move is coming up in your future, the best thing you can do to avoid stress is to start the process as soon as possible. Pick your moving days and ask off work if necessary. Consider who will be with you on moving day to help you load and unload. Think about which items you would like in the moving van and which necessities you might want in your personal car.
2. Pack slowly! It’s never too early to start packing up. Start by cleaning out old items that you don’t want to come with on the move. Cleaning can be a long tedious process, so take your time. Even one box a day before or after work helps!
3. Get help! If you have any friends or family in the area, ask if they would be willing to lend a helping hand. When it comes to packing up, (especially last-minute packing) the more hands-on-deck, the better! Friends and family can also help with any cleaning that seems overwhelming or loading the truck on moving day.

Heading Out

1. Plan for the weather! If you’re on a time-sensitive move because of rentals or work, take a look at the forecast to see if it may impact your arrival and unpacking times. If it’s snowy or rainy outside, consider laying down cardboard or plastic to prevent shoes from tracking mud or salt into your home or causing damage.
2. Call the professionals! Moving is a stressful endeavor but hiring professional movers can take a lot of the stress off your shoulders. Professional movers like Shleppers Moving & Storage can help with every step of the moving process from packing to unpacking to even selling your old home! If you want to ensure a stress-free and damage-free move, hire professionals.
