Moving is stressful. Whether you are relocating across town or to another state, the prospect of packing, transporting, and unpacking all your belongings can be a daunting one. The professionals at Easy Moving & Freight in Union, KY, say the secret to a smooth move lies in the proper preparation. A little planning can go a long way in eliminating stress.

This moving service has shared their best tips for getting all your furniture and boxes from Point A to Point B in one piece.

Do’s

• Do Start Early: Procrastination can easily make a move more stressful than it needs to be. Don’t wait until the last minute to start packing.
• Do Spread Packing Out: Rome wasn’t built in a day, and your home won’t be packed up overnight. Break the task up into manageable chunks by spreading the process out over the course of a few weeks. Try focusing on one room at a time, or packing similar items (such as all linens and laundry room items) on the same day.
• Do Purge Your Belongings: Moving is the perfect time to take inventory of your belongings and get rid of items you no longer need. Go through your home, and be realistic about items that won’t fit into your new one or have not been used in several months.

Don’ts

• Don’t Forget an Unpacking Plan: Depending on the amount of items moved, the average home can take up to four weeks to unpack. Have a plan for how you will get your new residence in order. This includes setting goals for when each room should be unpacked.
• Don’t Cram Boxes: It might be tempting to cut down on the amount of boxes used by stuffing them to capacity, but resist the urge when packing heavy items. It’s difficult to move boxes that are weighed down with pots, pans, books and other heavy contents.
• Don’t Disappear: While you don’t want to be in your movers’ way as they are working, try not to disappear. It’s important to be available if your moving service has a question, so make sure they know how to easily find you.
