Packing away years’ worth of belongings and handling all the logistics of a move is understandably stressful. According to the team at M. Dyer & Sons in Pearl City, HI, planning and packing well in advance will make the entire moving process easier. Here, the professional movers share a few tips to keep in mind when gearing up to relocate. 

3 Tips to Make Moving Less Stressful

1. Give Every Box & Container a Label

Although you might be tempted to throw everything in random boxes to save time, doing this will make unpacking a nightmare once you settle into your new space. To avoid chaos during move-in time, place all items in boxes according to room and assign each container a label. Movers can drop off all belongings in the correct rooms, which will make unpacking more efficient. If you have to disassemble items, pack the nuts and bolts together in small containers or bags.

2. Place Items Needed Immediately in Suitcases 

It can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks to settle into the new place. In the meantime, sifting through boxes for your daily necessities will be time-consuming. For convenience, place bedding, toiletries, and clothing worn often in suitcases. To tidy up the house, place cleaning products in a separate case or bin. When you move in, you’ll have access to everything you’ll need immediately.

3. Get Plenty of Rest the Night Before Moving 

Even if you’re feeling too anxious or excited the night before moving to sleep, you should still try. With a good night’s rest, you’ll be more relaxed and focused to deal with the many activities the next day.
