Helpful Tips for Stress-Free Moving
Wow, so you’re moving into your new home–how exciting. But if you’re not prepared, your moving experience can actually be stressful. Here are some essential moving tips in order to help you lessen the hassles of your moving experience.
1) Have the right mindset. The move into your new home must be something new and thrilling–albeit stressful at times. Realize that your fabulous dream house is waiting for you that’s why you got to embrace your new life with your new home with a positive outlook despite the accompanying stress that comes with it. Having the right mindset on moving helps you have fun with the experience and all the great possibilities instead of focusing on the stressful preparations.
2) One of the important things to consider is the change of your address, preferably process it at least 3 weeks ahead. Fill out the change-of-address forms on your bills and utilities before moving out. And don’t forget the change-of-address form from the post office to be filled out, because it normally takes at least 2 weeks for the change of address to be enforced.
3) For your moving preparations, canvass around on a number of some estimates from the moving companies, unless of course, a friend is assisting you to move. Double check the contract if you have to, so that you won’t be shocked if there are any hidden charges. Instead of hourly rates, try negotiating about flat rates for your moving expenses.
4) During the day of your move, remember to keep all your important legal documents and other valuables (like family heirlooms and the like) with you and not to the movers. Also, to make moving less stressful for you, just order take-out food for now instead of cooking. Then, don’t forget also to have some extra money to tip the movers-or even your friend who’s helping you move out.If a friend is hesitant to accept your money, well at least you can give something in exchange for their assistance. A tip for your male movers-they usually prefer a can of cold beer than cold cash.
5) Do you have anything which you can’t live without on your first night? Make sure that you pack it with you on a hand carried bag with all your basic necessities such as cell phones, medications, keys, toiletries, etc.
