Moving maybe an exciting experience, but it can also be stressful and daunting-especially if you’re not prepared. That’s why I have some basic moving tips to assist you to minimize your stress if you want to move smoothly into your new home.
1) Create a positive new mindset. Think of your move as something new, challenging and exciting. Believe that your dream house filled with so much promise and great possibilities is now waiting for you and it will all be worth it in the end. The proper attitude to moving into your new home gives you a new feeling that you will be filled with optimistic anticipation instead of being anxious.
2) Just about 3 weeks before the moving proper, it’s about time to change your address. Fill out the change-of-address forms on your bills and utilities before moving out. And don’t forget the change-of-address form from the post office to be filled out, because it normally takes at least 2 weeks for the change of address to be enforced.
3) For your moving preparations, canvass around on a number of some estimates from the moving companies, unless of course, a friend is assisting you to move. Double check the contract if you have to, so that you won’t be shocked if there are any hidden charges. Rather than paying by the hour, it’s actually wiser to negotiate a flat rate for your moving expenditures.
4) On the day of your move, be more mindful in keeping your legal documents, valuable and precious heirlooms with you and not to the movers. To make moving into your new home less overwhelming for you, forgo the cooking for now and just order take-out food. Plus, be thoughtful of your movers also by at least giving them extra money for their efforts. Or that helpful friend who assisted you. If a friend is hesitant to accept your money, well at least you can give something in exchange for their assistance. For your male movers, they often prefer a can of beer over money.
5) And is there anything on the first night which you can’t live without? Make sure that you pack it with you on a hand carried bag with all your basic necessities such as cell phones, medications, keys, toiletries, etc.
