Some Tips For a Less Stressful Moving Experience

We just moved house and while the new place is wonderful, the moving experience itself was not, so in order to have everything just perfect plan ahead and use reliable local movers.

Here are my top 5 tips for a more relaxed move:

1. Make sure you have back-up plans —
If you leave anything to chance you can pretty much be sure it will go wrong in all the worst ways. As well as moving house we had a cat with a broken leg and a small child with a sickness bug to contend with. On top of all that I work from home but couldn’t because our old line was disconnected early while the new line was fitted with a fault. Make sure you have plan B, C and for good measure even plan Z.

2. Use professional movers or over-recruit on the help —
Have all your cousins and in-laws pitch-in or call some reliable local movers. We had three hours to move and only one man to do the lifting. Good thing my wife had arranged for some help from New York – New Jersey Moving company. They did a fantastic job with my move. There were three flights of stairs... They didn't complain once. They were fast, efficient, and great care of our stuff. They did a great job and I wanted to recognize this!

3. Do not throw every bit of clutter away; some of it might come in handy —
Portable televisions, old style telephones, camping equipment. You name it. We threw out and gave to charity perfectly good rugs only to find a lot of our flooring won’t be fitted for two weeks. Always better to go over things in a timely manner rather than forget something. Always make a list of things that you pack.

4. Plan your day as best you can —
Plan the day of the move, you can’t have your movers bring the stuff in, the cable guy installing the TV and handyman changing the locks. You don’t want people tripping over each other. We had a guy trying to fit satellite television while another gang was trying to lay carpet, not good at all! Plan ahead and have at least one hour in between the different jobs to be done.

5. Keep essentials close —
A lot of stress can be saved if you can lay your hand on what you need without hunting for it. Everything from milk and kettle through to power tools. Don’t throw everything into boxes without at least marking what it is, where it should go and how. Always label the boxes that you definitely unpack first, the ones with all the essentials.

This was our third house but we had made all the same mistakes as before. I’m ashamed to say one of my professional skills is supposedly project management! I hope you can learn the lessons it took us so many mishaps to finally grasp.

Do you have any house moving tips to make the whole thing less stressful?
