Moves can be stressful, as we all know. There are a lot of things to plan for to make sure your move goes as planned. We asked our professional moving team for some advice to make moving less stressful.
An important part of making moving less stressful is based on good planning, keeping on top of packing, and managing your time effectively.
1. Create a moving plan
Having a solid moving plan will keep you organized. There are a lot of things you need to do before, during, and after a move. We recommend writing everything down to reduce stress and minimize forgetfulness. Once this is done you’ll notice a big difference in your stress level!
We recommend writing out all the tasks that have to be accomplished.
Here are some things that you should plan for:
- Choose your moving date
- Research moving companies
- Get three quotes
- Pick a moving company
- Figure out how what you need for packing supplies.
- Create your schedule for packing
- Create a list of rooms and items to pack
- Set a schedule
- Start packing
You can find many resources on the internet that can assist you. Take a look at packing checklists or moving checklists for some inspiration.
2. Reduce extra clutter and unwanted items
To reduce the stress caused by clutter, try to minimize the amount of extra junk in your home. It will take almost no time for you to feel more relaxed. We recommend organizing things into three piles: sell, donate, and throw away.
3. Keep a positive mindset
The key to moving is to keep a positive mindset! Studies have shown that positive thinking has stress-management benefits as well as health benefits. While moving brings stress, keep a positive attitude while you do it. Do not resist it; embrace it, accept it, and be patient with yourself and others. Consider getting support from friends and family. Talking with others will help you stay grounded during stressful times.
