How to Make Moving Less Stressful

The idea of moving to a new home or business premises is exciting. However, the actual process of moving is not something to take lightly. The stress of looking for packing supplies, disassembling furniture, packing your belongings, and ensuring they are adequately protected can result in lots of frustration. Luckily, there are a number of things you can do to make moving less stressful.

Let’s get to it.

• Make A Plan

Planning ahead of time is key if you want to make moving less stressful, emotionally and financially. This applies to all parts of your move, including sourcing packing supplies, labeling boxes, hiring movers, contacting utility service providers to change or cancel service, and more. With the many things that you have to do throughout the move, keeping everything in your head will only cause more stress and lead to forgetting some details.  A good way to plan ahead of time is to make a list of everything you have to do so that you don’t forget. Using a moving checklist will also help you stay organized and keep you on track.  

• Reduce Clutter as Much as Possible

One of the things that make moving stressful is dealing with clutter. If you carefully look around your house, you’ll realize that there’s a lot of junk occupying extra space. You can minimize moving stress by getting rid of items that you don’t use. With fewer things to worry about, everything from packing to unloading and unpacking in your new location will be much easier.  Furthermore, de-cluttering will reduce your cost of moving.

• Use a Labeling System

Use a labeling system to sort and organize your items so that there’s no confusion at your new location. Be sure to label all your boxes on each side so as to save time while unpacking.

• Hire Professional Movers

Nothing can relieve the stress of moving more than hiring a moving company to help you with everything from packing to loading items onto trucks and unloading at your new location. In addition to helping with packing your items in a way that they won't be damaged during transportation, movers will do the heavy lifting on the moving day, saving you the stress that comes with carrying bulky items like furniture. Just make sure you hire a reliable moving company with many years of experience in the industry.  

• Ask for Help If You Need It

If you feel overwhelmed during your move, don’t be afraid to ask for help. Whether they help you with sorting your belongings, packing, or cleaning, an extra set of hands can make the process less stressful.
