We’ve all been there: that unexpected job offer, an urgent lease end, or simply the undeniable urge to embrace a fresh start. Whatever your reason, a last-minute move can feel like a stressful race against time. Before you’re engulfed in that tidal wave of moving panic, Shleppers has your back. Here are some easy ways to reduce stress before your upcoming move and the keys to surviving a last-minute move.:
The Power of Lists
You’ve heard it hundreds of times, but we’re here to say it once more: make a checklist! With a ticking clock, your mind can get clouded by stress, leading to missed items or tasks. Pen down everything, from the stuff you need to pack, the utilities you need to disconnect, and even the pizza you’ll reward yourself with after a long day. Lists not only offer a clear direction, but they reduce the feeling of overwhelm when you just don’t know where to start, and they can also bring that unexplainable joy when you get to check off tasks. The satisfaction is real!
Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff – Declutter
Think of a last-minute move as a chance to declutter and cleanse. Those sequined jeans from 2002? The blender that’s never seen a fruit? Toss them – or consider donating or recycling. With less stuff, packing becomes easier, not to mention it’s a quick way to shed some emotional and literal weight. By bringing just the necessities, you’ll save yourself time, money, and effort, and you’ll make room to fill your next home with new items from your new city.
