How to Stay Organized When Moving House

 Moving house can be stressful because you must make sure you
take along all important documents and belongings, and you may even need to
make arrangements for pets and children; however, there are some steps you can
take to ensure the process runs smoothly. Consider nine things you can do to
stay organized while moving house.

1. Have a Folder for All Important Documents

Keeping all your important documents in a folder is crucial
for remaining organized throughout the moving process. This way, you have
access to essential information when you need it. Documents can include
inventory lists, moving estimates and contracts.

2. Create a Moving Checklist

To ensure you do not feel like you are being swallowed up by
the chaos of moving, you should create a comprehensive checklist. Your
checklist should include tasks that you must complete before, during and after
your move. Breaking down the moving process like this will allow you to feel
less overwhelmed.

3. Declutter Your Home Before Packing

Get rid of clutter, or it will drive you mad because it will
get in the way of everything. Donate items you do not need or use any longer. By
decluttering your home, you can reduce the number of items you need to move and
reduce your moving costs.

4. Label Boxes Clearly

Label your boxes according to the rooms where you will move
specific items. Clear labeling will enable the movers to know where you want
things to go, which will streamline the moving process.

5. Pack One Room at a Time

Instead of just packing random items, pack one room at a
time. Packing in this way will help you remain organized.

6. Pack All Your Essentials Separately

Pack all your essentials separate from the things you will
have the movers take. Have them in a bag that you can bring with you to ensure
you have immediate access to these items when you move. Essentials include toiletries,
a fresh change of clothes, important documents, medications and any other
necessary items you will need immediately upon arrival at your new home.

7. Notify Service Providers of Your Move

Notify all service providers about your change of address.
Such providers include banks, the postal service and utility companies. This
way, all your mail will be forwarded to your new address, and you will not miss
any important correspondence.

8. Schedule the Transfer of Utilities and Services

It is vital that you schedule the transfer of your utilities
and services well in advance of your moving day. This will ensure a smooth
transition because all your services will be in place when you settle into your
new home.

9. Plan for the Day You Will Move

To minimize any last-minute stress and ensure a smooth
moving experience, you should plan out all the logistics of moving day. Plan
when you will have the movers arrive, transportation to your new place and any
other events that must occur.
