Moving is an exciting yet demanding task. When removing all of your belongings, it goes without saying that there's a ton of moving parts involved in the process. Fortunately, there are some steps you can take—and avoid—to make the move an enjoyable process from start to finish. Colorado's leading moving and storage company, Checkmate Moving and Storage, is here with some tips and tricks that will make transitioning to a new home an easier task:

• When the boxes are at your new place, it may feel like you're all done, but forgetting to provide a forwarding address can be a source of a new headache. Depending on how far your move is, it can be especially difficult retrieving potentially confidential and important mail that was sent to an old address. Filling out a change of address form prior to moving out is a simple way to avoid all of this. It's important to know that certain services, such as banks and subscription services, should be contacted personally because it can take some time for the changes to take effect.
• Getting your belongings from point A to B safely is undoubtedly your main goal. However, it's important to be strategic in how you unpack. A great way to do this is to plan out your new rooms as you pack. Depending on your new place, things that were common to one room may be completely moved to another. If this is the case, it's preferable to pack boxes based on what room the objects will be in as opposed to where they're located now. Checkmate Moving and Storage provides packing services if you need help. 
• If your new home requires extensive work, it's best to complete these tasks prior to moving in. Trying to carry out improvements in a home filled with stuff can be difficult—or even impossible. If you're working with limited time between move out and move in, it's suggested to hire someone to complete these tasks so that you can have time to pack and have the place completely ready for you to live in.
