Plan the move well in advance

If you are moving yourself or whether you are hiring a firm to move you planning is essential.

Clear out before moving out

Many people move absolutely everything when they move. This is wrong and can cost you time, effort and money when moving. Declutter your home before you move, have a sort out and decide what you really need to take with you, what can be thrown in the garbage, what can be sold and what can be donated or given away. This simply exercise can reduce the size of your move considerably and make it a lot easier.

Garage Sale

Following on from  clearing out a garage sale is a superb way to make you move lighter. A garage or yard sale serves two purposes, firstly is enables you to get rid of the things you really don’t want to carry with you and secondly you can make a little money that can either go toward the move or to buy new items at Home Depot for the new home. Some people also use this as one last way to say farewell to neighbors.

Plan the move itself

Moving can be chaotic and it therefore makes sense to plan the move day. You may need to remove your kids for a few hours while loading and packing and you may also need to relocate pets of the way. Try and put a timeline together to keep the move going and where possible organise boxes etc in the house to make the move out easier and quicker. Make sure you have settled or transferred any utility bills and have copies of all your statements stored safely.

The little things

Finally the little things matter. Simple thjngs like keeping a first aid kit handy on the day of the move and maybe investing in some paper cups and instant coffee or cans of soda for during the move.

With all this in mind you can move easily.
