For some, moving for the first time can create excitement and joy. For many, moving for the first time can be stressful and overwhelming. Moving for the first time often stirs up feelings of anxiety because it is something new and an unknown. It also involves hours of preparation and resourcefulness. Expert Moving and Storage is always here to help so here are some helpful tips to alleviate some stress for first-time movers.
1. Get Organized
Being organized during a move-out process is essential. Go through your belongings and know what you want to keep and what you don’t. Make sure you don’t hoard items or belongings that should be thrown away or replaced. Getting rid of belongings you no longer need will make the packing process as quick and efficient as possible. Once you figure out how many items you are keeping, get the right amount of boxes to store the items.
2. Packing Up
Packing up for a move can be a handful. The best way to go about packing up when it is time to move is to have a plan. We recommend starting to pack at least 1 month before the actual move-out date. By starting to pack up a month before you move, you are giving yourself plenty of time to get things in order. Do not just throw items in boxes when you start packing up. Follow the plan, and put items that belong together in the same boxes. Do not forget to label the boxes right before or right after you pack! This will save you a lot of time and energy!
3. Do some research
Before the official move-in day to the new place, doing some research on the new neighborhood and town is extremely helpful. It is a good idea to know the new stores around you and get familiar with your new surroundings before you move in.
4. Buy Some Essentials for the New Place
Before you set officially set foot in the new place, it does not hurt to plan ahead and buy some items or furniture for the place you are moving into. You can always order these items ahead of time and do not need to pick them up while you are still in the process of moving out. You do not want to move into a new place and not have the proper essential items, furniture, or a bed, so keep that in mind before you move in!
