HOW TO PACK FOR A MOVE
It does not matter if you are moving around the country or across the street – it takes a lot of time and energy to pack. But moving to a new home does not have to disrupt your life. If you follow some simple steps, you can even make your move (almost) fun!
Here are seven ways to pack for a movement so that you can return to living your wonderful life.
Look at the reputable transport company
Before you can think about packing, you must first decide how you will move. Are you a personal type or prefer to hire a mobile company? It depends on a number of factors, such as your budget, timeline, and reach.
If you decide to hire professionals, remember that not all moving companies are created equally. Give yourself time to find a reputable transport company so you can trust that your property is in good hands. Need some tips? Check out this post on how to choose a moving company.
Schedule the day of the move
Once you decide on a moving company, it is time to set a date for the big day. If possible, try to reach your new location a few days before you leave your old place. This will give you a buffer so you do not get stressed if you cannot complete your move in one day. It will also help you avoid the need for storage while navigating between places. Set an appointment to move so that you have time to clean your old home and pick up any last-minute items left behind.
Make the packing list
Before you start packing, take a list of all your things. The packing list will help you stay organized and ensure you do not forget anything. It will also help you locate your new home and what to leave.
Grab the pen and notebook, and go through your room’s main room. Create two lists: one for what you take with you and the other for what you will offer. Sort everything by room to simplify the filling process. Taking the time to plan before diving into making a dump in your new home is easier hundreds of times.
Get rid of unnecessary items
Moving to a new home is the beginning of the next chapter of your life. Take this opportunity to purge any unnecessary old things. After deciding what to take with you, get rid of everything else. You can get a garage sale or recycling or donate your articles for charity. You will happily get rid of your items responsibly and donate whenever possible.
PACK AHEAD from schedule
If you are going to packing by yourself then you have plenty of time to pack. The transition is cumbersome enough – you do not want to scramble at the last minute and throw everything into boxes. Start early so you can take advantage of your time and pack your things correctly.
It’s a good balance though. You do not want to download very soon and you’re stuck in your boxes and bags for weeks. Make sure everything is packed and ready to go a few days before moving, but place a small bag with anything you need until you reach your new home.
Collect your supplies and get packing!
You are about to end. You have hired a great transport company, organized your stuff, and reduced it to basics. Now is the time to pack everything and start your new adventure. To keep your things safe, use the proper supplies. Here’s what you’ll need to pack for traffic:
Cardboard boxes or plastic boxes
Paper for packaging of fragile materials
Bubble wrap for more protection
Packing tape
Permanent marker for labeling bags and boxes

Change your address and cancel services
As you approach the day of moving, there is another part of the housekeeping service to care for: changing your address and canceling your services. To change the address, you’ll need to contact the relevant authorities, such as DMV, your bank, and your employer. You also need to contact your cable, telephone, Internet, and gas and power providers to move services to your new address.
There is no doubt about it: The move is hard work. But by planning ahead, organizing, and maintaining a positive attitude, you will be able to transform your new home into a “home” in no time.
