Home Organization Tips

By Lillian Trevorrow


No matter how many things you have to move, or how much experience you have, relocating your whole home can be difficult and overwhelming. The more things you have to move adds to the stress, and the bonds you made with the place are hard to break. You can follow some of these simple steps to try to reduce the stress of the new move.

Don't Procrastinate

As easy as it is to put things off, it is the most important step to plan out the packing and unpacking parts of your move. You have to work through so many things at once during a move, so it would be smart to plan out as much as you can before the moving starts. Having an organized packing process can reduce the actual time spent packing all your things. With a quick move it is easy to just shovel everything you have into boxes, and it's not until after you start unpacking that you realize that you have too many trinkets and knick knacks that don't actually mean anything to you anymore. After many years in the same house you can find that you have too many things that you don't have room for anymore. Preparing yourself and your things for a move as soon as possible can give you more time to clear through your older things that you've been wanting to get rid of.

Know What to Expect

Sometimes in-city moves can be easier then out of state moves. It is still difficult to move somewhere that you have heard nothing about, and don't know how you might fit in. At this point it would be a good idea to do some research; maybe take a look at how the weather might be different and might change around as you live there. Various states have erratic weather changes, which might mean always have a change of lighter or warmer clothes in the car. It would also help you if you had the opportunity to visit the area where you might be moving, whether you want to get to know the shopping scene, or just be there to see how you would fit in. Some would also suggest to call nearby moving companies to get their advice on when the vest time to come would be.

Pack To Go

Many people use moving trucks that will take a few days to get to the new moving location. If this is the case, it is really important to pack a bag with a few day's worth of clothes and underwear so that you don't have to be miserable waiting for your clean, packed clothes to come in. It is a horrible thing to realize that you are out of clothes at the time that the moving truck is days away.

Now you're ready for the low stress move that you always wish you had! Follow these simple tips and they can help you with a smoother move transition.
