Moving Tips
Moving and packing tips that will make your move simple!
01
MAKE A LIST
When you move homes, you inevitably end up having multiple tasks to do and things can get hard to remember. Don’t let all of these tasks and important reminders, no matter how seemingly obvious, slip your mind. Write them down somewhere. Put them in the notes app on your phone, or go old-school with a pen and paper.
02
SAY GOODBYE TO UNUSED STUFF
The more unused items you eliminate from your home, the less stuff you’ll have to pack, haul across town, unload, and organize. Moving is a great opportunity to donate things you no longer use or need and give back to your community!
03
GET STURDY PACKING SUPPLIES
It sounds obvious, but if you’ve ever known the struggle that is carrying a large cardboard box stuffed full of college textbooks across a parking lot, then you also know this advice cannot be overstated. Fill your small boxes with heavier items and use large boxes for light things like decorative pillows, towels, and linens.
04
PACK THE BASICS YOURSELF
Packing little by little is far less stressful than trying to tackle it all in one day. As early as a couple months out, start packing the stuff you know you won’t be using. This can be anything from off-season clothing to books you’ve already read.
