2 Time and Sanity-Saving Moving Tips

Oh the stress of a residential move! Make it a little easier on yourself with these sanity-saving tips.

If you are getting ready for a residential move in 2019, you may be feeling just a little stressed. There’s so much to think about and do that it can be difficult to know where to begin. When you are feeling short on time, it becomes even more overwhelming.

Our team of moving experts at Nilson Van & Storge has you covered. Take a look at two of our best time- and sanity-saving moving tips:

Tip #1: Thin Out Your Stuff

Recycle. Donate. Trash. Those are three words you need to keep in mind early in the moving process. The idea is to significantly pair down your belongings, so you have less to move. A popular decluttering expert suggests to hold something in your hand, and if it doesn’t bring you joy—toss it! This may be a good simplification strategy. Whatever method you choose to get rid of stuff, understand that the less you have to move, the quicker the entire process will go for you.

Tip #2: Streamline the Packing Process

Create a packing plan and stick to it! Winging it when it comes to packing is a recipe for extreme frustration, not to mention a big time-waster. One smart way to get organized is to develop a color coding system for your boxes and living spaces, including a floor plan for where the boxes will go at your new place. Assign each space a color, mark the boxes with a magic maker, and you will save time figuring out where everything will need to go.
