>>>Tips to an Organised Moving Day...

Moving is one of the biggest household tasks there is and it can be extremely overwhelming. But if you can get a head start and stay organized, you should make it through this huge process unscathed and ready to enjoy your new abode. Here are 5 tips to minimize the stress of moving day with these plan-ahead ideas.

1)Get organized early 

Avoid leaving anything until the last minute. Unless you have to pack up and leave in a hurry, chances are you have between 30 and 60 days to make a plan and ensure that moving day runs smoothly. Create a countdown list and itemize everything you need to accomplish week by week

2) Seize the opportunity to purge

Moving is a great chance to organize your belongings and get rid of items you no longer use. If the time of year permits, hold a yard sale. Or, take the time to sort and donate gently worn clothing, put furniture up for sale, recycle old magazines and catalogs and shred old documents.

3) Take inventory

This is especially necessary if you’re hiring a moving company. Having a record of your household items is useful if something goes missing. Consider keeping a spreadsheet of the contents of each box. Then, assign each box a number and all you have to do is write that number on each side (maybe with the appropriate room listed, as well).

4) Label everything

Label all sides of the box (avoid the top). Whoever is carrying in your boxes might not make sure all labels are facing one way for your easy retrieval. Try labeling each side in marker so you can easily find what you need in a stack.

5) Don’t mistake belongings for trash

Try to avoid packing things in garbage bags. Well-meaning friends or family could accidentally throw them out on moving day.

Whether hired movers or friends and family, be sure to have food and drinks readily available for everyone
Have an organized, easy move!!
