It’s no secret that moving house can be incredibly stressful, especially if you’re switching things up by starting a new job in a different city or moving across the country to live in a different state, so it’s important that you find ways to keep your cool during the moving process.

 

Start packing early

 

Whether you are binging a new Netflix series or scrolling through your Instagram feed – distraction is everywhere these days. However, procrastination techniques always seem to be at their most powerful when you are readying for a big move. As packing is time-consuming and difficult, we often tend to push it aside and claim we will do it later. The result? Having a number of hours to pack your life away into boxes before the movers come. When you try to pack quickly, you risk forgetting certain items or damaging them by throwing them all into one box.

 

 

Therefore, the best thing you can do is start early. In the weeks leading up to the move, try and set aside some time each day to pack. Begin by packing up the things you won’t need until after the move, or focus on packing away a room at a time. Leave all of your essentials out to last so you can keep track of them and find them easily when you arrive at your new home or apartment. 

 

Take proper care of your clothes

 

Your personal style is part of who you are and leaves a lasting impression on those who meet you, whether you are working or walking down the street. Therefore, it is important that you take proper care of your clothes when moving house. Ensure they are folded neatly and stored securely to avoid creasing and damage. You may want to pay particular focus to the way in which you pack a suit, to ensure it does not get damaged, especially as it is so difficult to find the perfect suit.

 

Hand your car keys over to a mover

 

If you are moving a great distance away, you also need to consider how you are going to move your car to your new destination, especially as simply driving it there yourself is not always feasible. Specialist moving companies, such as CarsRelo, can do the hard work for you, and even offer door-to-door pick-up and drop-off services. With a team of over 60,000 trusted and experienced movers, they are sure to deliver your car to its new home quickly and safely. In addition to cars, they can move trucks, SUVs, motorcycles and classic cars. 

 

Stay Organized

 

One of the best ways to eliminate stress during a move is to keep track of everything you need to do. Whether you make a list or use an app designed to support better organization, be sure to find different ways to keep on track of your move. Write down any important details and dates so that you don’t forget any important details.
