Moving Tips

Clean Out

Be merciless! Trash anything that you haven’t used in a while or haven’t worn in the last year. Move to your new place with a decluttered mind & space

Pack early

Heavier items go in the bottom, lighter items on top.
Don’t mix items from different rooms in the same boxes.
Label each box with the room it’s destined for & a description of it’s contents.
Don’t leave empty spaces in the boxes.
Tape the boxes well.
Keep your wardrobe on hangers – use large trash bags to keep clothes covered & safe – hang in your new closet and pull the bags off

Pack Night Bag

Pack extra clothes, toiletries, & anything else you may need the first night you move in a separate bag that stays with you and not in the moving truck

Organize

Making a folder or binder with dividers to hold important information before, during, & after the move is a great way to stay organized during a hectic phase. Here’s some ideas for dividers:

Address Changes (i.e. Mail, Drivers Licenses, Bills, On line Shopping Accounts, etc.)
Contacts
Moving Schedule (Utilities, Trash, Painters, & Movers)
New Bills
Payments

Make your Bed First

Moving day is exhausting even if movers are doing the heavy lifting. Once your bed is inside, make it. Put clean sheets, comforters & pillows on so you have a place to crash when the long day is over.
