6 Tactics for a smart move by Jacklyn Renz
Moving can often be equal parts exciting and stressful. In fact, according to HealthStatus.com, moving is one of the top ve most stressful life events that we experience. So how can you minimize stress and ensure a smooth move? We have compiled a list of eight organizational tactics to keep moving day on track.
Simplify Beforehand
Before a moving box makes its debut, begin with boxes of another kind. One labeled “donate” and one labeled “trash.” You may even nd some items you would like to sell online or consign. The less that you have to pack on moving day, the better, so simplify. If you are moving from a place you have called home for several years, chances are that your basement, attic, and closets are storing some unused items. Don’t wait to do this. Begin purging well before moving day to expedite your packing. A moving sale also may prove helpful, by putting extra cash in your pocket to help pay for moving supplies.
Create a Moving Binder
With so many small details to keep track of, moving can quickly become overwhelming. Create a moving binder with several tabbed sections to manage all of the details. HGTV.com suggests the following categories for your mov-
ing binder: utilities, receipts, checklists, movers, inventory list, and schedules. Printable moving checklists and inventory sheets can be found on numerous websites, such as Upack.com. Perhaps you also add a tab for your new home, such as the address, shops nearby, or any legal documents. Keep the binder in an easily accessible place that won’t be disrupted by the hustle and bustle of preparation, like on top of the refrigerator.
Pack Strategically
When it comes to putting your entire life’s belongings
into boxes, it can take quite a while. Be sure you have gathered ample amounts of boxes, newspapers or bubble wrap, tape, markers, and labels for everything that will be packed. Begin packing the least used items rst. Upack. com suggests packing these items about 5 weeks before your moving date. Give yourself either a daily or weekly packing quota to help spread out the process. Save time by packing your hanging clothes last either in a wardrobe box or keeping them on the hangers in a personal vehicle.
Label, Label, Label
Speaking of packing, labeling is key! Clearly label the contents of each box with a permanent marker. There is no such thing as too detailed when it comes to labeling. Label several sides of the box as well, in case you nd yourself with a box of unknowns at the bottom of an immovable pile. Do a color-code system using colored stickers and matching colored paper. Assign each room in your new home a color and place the coordinating sticker on each of your boxes. The colored paper will be placed on the doorway of each room. This will make it easy for hired movers and friends alike to get everything to the correct room.
The Big Items
When you have the help of movers, you want to have the exact placement of your furniture already planned out. Begin by getting measurements of all of the rooms in the home if the purchasing arrangement will allow. Figure out which furniture items will be placed where, and label the assigned room clearly on your invento-
ry list (located in your moving binder). Don’t forget about your major appliances such as the washer, dryer, and refrigerator. Will they t? If the new home doesn’t have the space for certain appliances, plan accordingly to have one purchased and delivered to your new home.
Keep Basics + Valuables Close
When it comes to diamond rings and toilet paper, there is one thing they have in common: you don’t want to be caught on moving day not knowing their whereabouts! Place basic essential items in your personal vehicle. Things like hand soap, paper towels, bottled water, and toilet paper need to be within easy access throughout moving day at both locations. Also, each family member can have their own overnight suitcase packed with a change of clothes, toothbrush, and anything else they may need. As for valuables, put them in your vehicle the morning of moving day before anyone else arrives to help. This
way, no one will unknowingly move or pack something important. Things to keep an eye on include jewelry, important les and legal documents, eyeglasses, computers, cell phone chargers, and wallets. Moving day doesn’t have to be stressful. With these important organization tactics put to use, your moving day can be purely exciting and fun! Remember to plan ahead, be detail orientated, simplify where possible, and allow for plenty of time to complete all sorts of tasks. Sources: HGTV.com, Upack. com, goodhousekeeping.com
