TIPS TO MAKE MOVING EASIER Moving is a stressful time for anyone, but with the right advance planning and supplies, it can be a lot easier than most people expect. The keys to making a move that is as efficient and stress-free as possible are relatively simple, but easy to overlook. Organizing your belongings, and packing them in ways that help keep them secure, is the first step. Using a coordinated moving plan that gets the majority of the work done in a single day is great, too, but it does require you to either hire help or to recruit it from your family and friends. Finally, providing yourself with options for storage can help to avert any anxiety that might come from staging unpacked boxes, having too many possessions for the new space, or other transitional issues. The first step to a successful move is making sure that you have all the right moving supplies. This is about more than just boxes and packing tape, although you will want to make sure you have plenty of both. It’s also about making sure you have the specialty items that can really help you with your peace of mind. Items like flat screen protectors, furniture covers, and environmentally secure storage like airtight rubber tubs protect your more sensitive belongings, and that goes a long way toward ensuring that you have everything you need, in the condition you expect, at the end.

TIPS TO MAKE MOVING EASIER

       Moving is a stressful time for anyone, but with the right advance planning and supplies, it 

can be a lot easier than most people expect. The keys to making a move that is as efficient and  stress-free  as  possible  are  relatively  simple,  but  easy  to  overlook.  Organizing  your belongings, and packing them in ways that help keep them secure, is the first step. Using a coordinated moving plan that gets the majority of the work done in a single day is great, too, but it does require you to either hire help or to recruit it from your family and friends. Finally, providing yourself with options for storage can help to avert any anxiety that might come  from staging unpacked boxes, having  too many possessions  for  the new space, or other transitional issues.

               The first  step  to  a  successful move  is making  sure  that  you have all  the  right moving 

supplies. This is about more than just boxes and packing tape, although you will want to make  sure  you  have  plenty  of  both.  It’s  also  about making  sure  you  have  the  specialty items that can really help you with your peace of mind. Items like flat screen protectors, furniture covers, and environmentally secure storage like airtight rubber tubs protect your more  sensitive  belongings,  and  that  goes  a  long  way  toward  ensuring  that  you  have everything you need, in the condition you expect, at the end.

      Packing items in these supplies is also part of the advance planning phase. Ensuring that environmentally sensitive belongings like electronics and fragile belongings are packed in secure, water-tight containers  involves having a plan for cushioning and supporting them that gets the most out of your storage space without compromising on security. For less sensitive items like clothing, dishes, and other house wares, organizing various boxes  is  a  matter  of  planning  for  the  best  combination  of  weight  distribution  and materials.  Keep  heavier,  more  dense  items  in  smaller  boxes  when  possible  to  avoid having  any  one  carton  that  is  a  burden  to  lift  and  carry,  and  remember  to  stay organized by labeling your boxes.

       Last but not least, consider your storage options. Many people find self-storage to be a 

useful  tool when moving because  it provides  you with a  location  to  store all  of  your packed belongings while you stage your new home. This can relieve the pressure felt by attempting to navigate around stacks of sealed cartons by providing a convenient and low-cost  way  to  keep  the  clutter  of  moving  at  bay  while  you  decorate.  It  can  also provide relief by establishing a private space where you can keep older belongings that might not fit into your current space or your new choices for decor.
