Lessen the Stress of Your Move with Organized Packing Tips

Organizing

Moving is one of the most high-stress situations we deal with in our adult lives. It doesn’t help that it’s usually a race to get everything done and packed in time for closing or your move-in date. If you are selling a house at the same time, that’s double the deadlines and anxiety. Packing is the last thing most of us want to do, let alone unpack.

When my husband and I bought our first home, the first thing I did was unpack and organize the kitchen. It was a dream, I finally had the cabinet and drawer space I needed. There is no proper pantry, but I made do. Guests kept commenting about how quickly I unpacked. It was a new home for me and super exciting, it felt like I was with a client and wanted to get the job done.

Living with boxes for extended periods of time causes extra stress that is avoidable. When working with clients for an entire move we go through the purging process first before packing all items in an organized manner. If you are flying solo on your move, here are some ways to help with the packing and unpacking process.

Purge, purge, purge. Do not bring unnecessary items into your new home. Packing these items means more boxes to haul and less space in your home to store items you actually need.
Keep like with like. Gather your items by category to allow for easier unpacking and organizing.

Labeling is a game-changer. Make sure all boxes are labeled by what area of the home they belong in as well as the contents. Our team makes sure to label in detail so that you know where that wine opener is when you’re unpacking.

It’s possible to lessen the stress of a move if you follow these few steps. Make an appointment for a free consult if you need assistance with your move in any way. We customize our services based on your needs and budget. Don’t forget to enjoy your new home and know the stress is only temporary!
