So, your move to a new house is due in a few months, and you are wondering about how to speed up the entire process. Don’t worry – we have your back. The following tips will help:
Hire A Professional Mover
Of course, this one goes without saying – but it still needs to be mentioned. If you want to make your move more efficient, the best thing you can do is to hire a professional mover.
There might be several things in your house that you have invested money in and that have a higher chance of breaking if you decide to move them yourself, such as a piano or a hot tub. Speaking of the hot tub, we recommend professional hot tub moving to ensure that your belongings are being maneuvered by professionals.
Now, when it comes to selecting the best moving company, you might want to ask family or friends who have moved and hired professional movers. You can also do in-depth research on the moving companies before choosing one so you know you are in safe and reliable hands.
Declutter First
To speed up the entire moving project, you should know that you will be giving yourself a great favor by decluttering first. As a matter of fact, you might have been knowing the entire time that you have countless things at home that you don’t need to have for the sake of having things.
So, you should take advantage of the opportunity to declutter your house while you are preparing for the move. Go through all of your belongings – one room after the other – make three piles of things. Make a pile of things you are keeping and place them in the moving boxes.
Subsequently, make a pile of things that need to go into the trash. You can also do in-depth research on the moving companies before choosing one so you know you are in safe and reliable hands. Also, make a last pile of things that you would like to donate. If you declutter well in advance, you can also set up a garage sale and make some money.
Now, the reason why we ask you to declutter is that it will save you so much time and energy when you start the actual packing process. Also, you will have the mental peace that you are only taking the things with you to your new house that really matter.
Pack A Separate Bag
When it comes to effective packing, keep in mind your arrival at the new place, too. What this means is that you should know that you won’t be able to unpack everything right away. So, keep a separate bag that you don’t give to the moving company but keep it with you as the bag will contain all the essentials that you will need right after you arrive at your new place.
Think about your medications, pajamas, pillowcases, bedding, toiletries, snacks, laptops, phone chargers, and important documents. Also, if there is anything else that you need during the first few days in your new place, make sure to include it in this separate bag.
