Create & Follow A Schedule

Making a detailed moving schedule can help your move go as smoothly as possible. Try to create a week-by-week checklist of crucial things that need to be done at least 60 days ahead of your move. Include things such as when you need to start and finish packing when to submit address change paperwork and other important information on your schedule. 

Stock Up On Supplies

Nothing can slow down a moving day like running out of supplies. Avoid making a supply run in the middle of packing by stocking up on enough supplies ahead of time. Well before it’s time to pack up, stock up on supplies such as tape, box cutters, cardboard boxes, bubble wrap, and markers.

Declutter

The more belongings you own, the longer it will take to pack and move them into your new home. Prior to packing, go through everything and get rid of as many unnecessary items as you can. This may be challenging at first, but you may find it very liberating. Besides saving money on boxes, this can help save on space by decluttering. Additionally, you could make some cash by selling old stuff in a garage sale.

Pack Efficiently

You can save time later by packing smart now. Specifically, develop a system to indicate where boxes need to go in your new home. For example, you could use a color coding system where mark boxes with colored stickers that signify which room they go in, i.e. blue for the kitchen, red for the living room, etc. Conversely, you could simply write what room a box goes in on the top of each box. Furthermore, label the boxes with what is contained inside.
