A big move can be overwhelming if you don’t prepare properly. There are factors to keep in mind, from organization to hiring movers early. Sticking to them will ensure an easier packing and moving process and that you can also arrive at your new home organized and ready to start the next chapter off on a positive foot.

3 Tips to Make Packing and Moving Easier

1. Organize First

The last thing you want when you arrive at your new home is to spend hours rifling through boxes looking for something. Before you put the first cardboard box together, create a game plan. Decide what to pack first, and separate groups based on the different rooms in your home. You’ll be able to find everything much easier when you arrive and also maximize space, saving you time and money.

2. Pack Essentials Last

Tools, utensils, cookware, and other must-have, everyday items are the last things you’ll use at your current home and likely the first you’ll use at your new one. When packing and moving, always tuck them away last in a designated box. You’ll save valuable time having them on-hand and can streamline unpacking once you begin settling in.

3. Hire Movers

To reduce the physical stress of packing and moving while also saving time, turn to the professionals for assistance. A moving company is an invaluable investment. Book your group early so you’re not scrambling last second. Six to eight weeks in advance is a safe timeframe. You’ll have plenty of time to plan out your new home—another important tip—while they handle all of the heavy liftings.
