For many people May and June is a time of transition. As someone who recently relocated I can tell you the move was more hectic than I expected. With that in mind, here are a few tips I found helpful.
1 – Moving is a great excuse to get rid of excess “junk”. Sell it, donate it or just give to someone. Lighten your load by getting rid of stuff you truly don’t need.
2 – The better you pack, the easier it is to unpack. While it’s always tempting to buy the biggest box you can find and throw everything you own in it, more often than not you’re going to ruin something, lose something or spend more time untangling a power cord than actually unpacking. Make unpacking easy: pack your stuff neatly.
3 – In the rule book of friendship, if a friend helps you move they are entitled to a free meal. Usually in the form of bread, tomato sauce and melted cheese.
4 – Move on a weekday. Not only is there less traffic on the road, you’ll also find parking, especially if you’re moving into a city. Also, nobody likes to share a freight elevator.
