Moving can actually be exciting and not stressful! Isn't that hard to believe? Everyone says moving is one of the most stressful experiences in life, which can be true. But with the right support and planning, moving can be a pleasant experience. Read on to learn more!
Tip #1: Purge Liberally to Lighten Your Load
Moving is a great opportunity to start fresh and declutter what you currently have. Be intentional with what you are moving and think about if you really need everything that you currently have in your new home. Moving with less items is easier, and cheaper too. If you purge before you move then you won't have to unpack boxes of items that you no longer need in your new home. When working with our organizing team, we guide you to figure out which items you will need in your new home and which you won't. We also help figure out the best way to dispose of the items that you are purging. Towels can go to an animal shelter, while toys can go to a foster care center. We often take the items to the donation centers for you or schedule a pickup.
Tip #2: Prep Thoughtfully to Speed Our Process
We offer full service packing services, where we pack up everything from your shoes to your shower curtains, but its always a good idea to think about what you don't want to take with you before we come to speed up the process on the day of the project. We also offer pre-packing consulting sessions so we can walk through your space and plan it out with you.
Tip #3: Prevent Some Packing to Simplify Your Life
When we pack you up, you are able to live in a pack free zone for the weeks before the move, and don't need to live with boxes all around. Because we are a team of organizers, we are able to pack up your home efficiently in just a few days. The essentials that you use daily will be the last things to be packed and the first to be unpacked. If you want to DIY then make sure to leave the essentials out for last so that you have access to them when you need them!
Tip #4: Plan Strategically to Guide Our Unpacking
When you pack you want to keep in mind the layout of your new space. Pack according to the new space and not your current home. IE if you currently have a large living space that doubles as your family room, but your new home has two separate living rooms, plan for it! Pack what you would like to go into each living room separately and label it as family room & living room. This saves so much time on the unpacking side!
