If you are planning to move, it's important that you give yourself enough time for the process. The complexities of a relocation shouldn't be handled over only a week.
As an experienced mover, we have helped numerous customers plan for a relocation. This article will cover what you should accomplish leading up to the moving day.
Eight Weeks Before Moving: Researching Movers and Making a Budget
Two months before the moving day is the ideal time to start planning for a relocation. You should start by researching moving companies and booking a provider that suits your preferences. Additionally, you should create a realistic budget that you would like to stay within during the move.
Six Weeks Before Moving: Decluttering and Organizing Belongings
Once the movers are booked, you should start by decluttering your home and getting rid of anything you don't want to take with you. Moving items you no longer need is a waste of time and money, so you should discard, sell, or donate everything you don't want. By starting early, you can give yourself time to make the tough decision on what you will bring with you.
One Month Before Moving: Packing Non-Essential Items
With four weeks remaining, you should start to pack items that aren't essential to your daily routine. From seasonal items to old books, you should start the packing process as early as possible. When packing these items, you should also label the boxes to save yourself frustration when unpacking everything at the next home.
Two Weeks Out: Confirm Details and Finalize Packing
As the move approaches closer, you should confirm the final details of the move. You should plan the shut off of your utilities and their transfer to the next location. Additionally, you should be almost complete with the packing process in your home.
One Week Out: Clean Home and Pack Moving Day Box
The final week before the move should be for cleaning the home and packing a box for your moving day. This essentials box should include things you will need on the first day at the new home, like toiletries, changes of clothing, phone chargers, etc.
