Tips for a Stress-Free and Painless Move

I wish moving is as easy as pushing a button and your entire house turns into a small capsule that you can just take with you anywhere just like one of those old cartoon shows. It’s not. It’s a lot of work moving your entire life to a new location.

But don’t worry. Even if the capsule technology is not here yet, there are still many things that we can do to make our move to a new place a lot less painful and stress-free. Here are some tips that you might want to employ:

Do a major purge and decluttering session first before you start packing

Have you ever looked at all the stuff in your home and felt lost and overwhelmed? That’s what clutter does to a person. It weighs down on you. How did you end up accumulating so many things? We ask this repeatedly as we acquire more.

It’s the consumerism in us. We have been hardwired to think that we need more when we can do with so much less. Try letting go of some of your stuff and see how much lighter you feel. Your home feels bigger and cleaner. The air literally smells fresher. Gone are the dust mites-accumulating stuff that you have.

Start going from room to room. Take out all your stuff. Ask everyone in the household to curate their things. Get rid of the things that you haven’t used or seen in the past two years. You will most likely not use or remember to use them at all.

Sort them out and determine which ones will go to the trash, which ones will be donated, and which ones can be sold off.

Designate specific days of the week for packing

Starting is particularly difficult just because most people don’t know where they should start tackling all of the packing that they have to do. If you easily feel overwhelmed, start with the part of your home that is the easiest to pack such as the bedrooms.

You can designate the weekends for packing so that you don’t have to worry about waking up early the next day and other distractions. Just focus on that task for the rest of the day. You can order takeout food so you don’t have to worry about cooking.

Determine what system of packing will work best for you

How do you put all the things in boxes? You can try color-coding your boxes. Put a colored sticker on the boxes instead of a label. That will tell you where to put things. For instance, you can place all your kitchen wares and utensils in boxes colored blue.

You can also hire Richmond movers to help you with the big mover. Movers in Richmond can also help in organizing your stuff and packing them in boxes. If you are too busy to do all that, get the help of Richmond movers such as Mountain Movers. You can significantly reduce your stress with the help of movers in Richmond.
