Moving to a new home is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming. When you look closely at the logistics of your move, there are certain things that can easily make you feel stressed and anxious.
Busy Buddies, one of the most trusted senior move managers in the area, discusses three common reasons people get stressed during a move and offers tips on how to stay calm.
Make Sure You’re Prepared for the Expenses
Money is a leading cause of stress during a move. The key to reducing this kind of stress is to anticipate every expense you’ll have during your move, from the cost of moving supplies to any difference in utility bills at your new residence. By identifying every expense, you can make adequate preparations and minimize the chances of unexpected costs.
Create a Checklist and Packing Timeline
Declutter your home as early as possible. Procrastinating will cause you to panic and do things in a rush — which is never good because doing tasks hurriedly can result in mishaps, accidents or property damage. Create a moving checklist and packing timeline. These things will help ensure that all your belongings are accounted for and you’re right on schedule. Don’t forget to make an allowance for unexpected delays as well.
Hire Reliable, Professional Movers
Asking help from friends and family is okay. But a safer bet is to leave the heavy lifting to professional movers. A reliable moving company knows how to move your furniture and belongings safely and efficiently, reducing the risk of damage.
