Do's & Don'ts Of Moving
The move to a new home is no small feat. There's a lot to think about and a lot to do when moving. To make your move as smooth as possible, don't forget these simple do's and don'ts!
Do: make a plan
It's crucial to map out everything you need to do before, during, and after your move. This will ensure that you don't forget anything and that your move goes smoothly.
Do: start packing ahead of time
Packing can take longer than you think, so it’s best to start sooner rather than later. That way, you won’t be scrambling at the last minute, so you’ll have plenty of time to label everything.
Do: stay organized
When you start packing, it is crucial to stay organized to know what's in each box and where it will go in your new home. Label each box with its contents and the room it will go in.
Don’t: wait until the last minute
Packing can take longer than you think, so don't wait until the week before your move begins! Not only will this add unnecessary stress, but it will also lead to haphazard packing which could lead to damaged belongings.
Don’t: try to do everything yourself
Moving is a big job, too big for one person to handle alone! Ask friends and family members for help, or hire professional movers if necessary.
