Moving can be a headache, even if it is just a short-distance move. On the bright side, a short-distance move is usually significantly smoother and not as stressful as a long distance move. A short-distance move may seem easy, but there is still a lot that goes into it. Check out our advice on the different ways to handle a short-distance move compared to a long-distance one.
The Moving Process
What makes a short-distance move ideal is you can either slowly bring things over to the new place, or move all your items in one day due to the locale. Once you figure out how you want to execute the short-distance move, get rid of any items you deem as junk at your old place. Do your best not to hoard items and look forward to replacing outdated ones. Whichever plan you choose, give yourself a couple of weeks to gather all the belongings you want to keep and pack them up in an organized fashion. Label the boxes and try to keep similar items all together in the same boxes. Knowing what to prioritize and having a checklist can also come in handy during this process.
Check-In on the New Home
One of the great perks of a short-distance move is the fact you can visit your new place whenever you want. With the distance between the places being manageable, take in your new place as much as you can before you officially settle in. By understanding and studying the layout of the new place more, you will also get an idea of items you should keep and items you should toss. This will also give you an idea of what you need to buy for the new place. Slowly move items you do not need in the meantime to the new place to save time and space.
