Moving has been identified as one of the biggest stressors one can experience. We build bonds with our neighbors and community, and a move places us in a temporary transition out of our comfort zone. Staying focused and positive is helpful. Along with a positive mindset, practical preparation is key to ensuring a smooth transition.
8 Tips To Get You Moving
- Make the decision to hire a moving company or self-move.
- If you hire a moving company, use a carrier who been certified & licensed by the Department of Transportation. Be sure your mover provides a Bill of Lading.
A Bill of Lading is your contract with the mover, stating the mover’s responsibilities, services, charges & liability. - Book early with your moving company or truck rental if you choose to self-move.
- Declutter-Declutter-Declutter: The single, most essential task one can perform prior to packing any moving box is to get rid of all items you no longer need.
- Schedule utility service for the new home and request service stops on the move-out date of your current home.
- Remember to change your mailing address at least 2 weeks prior to moving.
- Pack essentials separately! Important papers, documents, medicine, valuable articles, should be transported separately. You will have a peaceful mind knowing they are safe in your care.
- Lastly, remember Rome was not conquered in one day. It may take a couple of weeks, a month, or longer to unpack boxes and make your new home “your own”. Accept the friendly gestures of help with unpacking, babysitting, or food, then pay-it-forward one day when a new neighbor moves in!
