Moving to a new home can be an exciting experience, but it can also be overwhelming. To make the process easier, it's important to plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time. Professional movers recommend at least six weeks before your move date. To help you get started, here are some of the best tips from the experts on packing and moving.We all know that packing and moving can be a daunting task.
To make it easier, start by sorting through all the items in your house and deciding what you want to take with you. Marie Kondo's advice is always helpful here - if it doesn't bring you joy, it's time to let it go!It's also important to have the right supplies. Make sure you have enough boxes of different sizes, as well as packing tape, bubble wrap, and other materials. If you're short on space, consider renting a portable moving and storage container. When packing, start with non-essential items that you won't need during the last week in your home.
Kimmy from She's In Her Apron recommends this approach. It's also a good idea to pack your valuables separately in a suitcase - this includes jewelry, passports, Social Security cards, birth certificates, and other important documents. Kristi from Inspired Living with Kristi has moved seven times in her life and knows a thing or two about packing for the move. She recommends unpacking your bedroom, bathroom and kitchen (in that order) on the first day you move into your new home. This will help you get settled quickly and get a good night's sleep. Finally, remember to take care of yourself first.
Moving is stressful and it's important to make sure you're taking care of your own needs before helping others. For more tips from the experts, check out the PODS blog.
