While some people are excited when they find out they will be moving, there are others that panic when they get the news. That can be made even worse when you find out that you need to move on short notice. It can be stressful because you may not feel prepared like you would, had you had more time to prepare. However, just because it is stressful, that doesn’t mean it can’t be done. Excalibur Moving & Storage is here to share our best tips to help you with a short notice move.
Tips for a Short Notice Move
When you’re facing something as daunting as a short notice move, it can be an overwhelming situation. It can be difficult to know where to even start. Here are some tips for your short notice move to make it less stressful.
– Make a Plan: It is vital that you are organized when you have a short notice move on your hands. Without some organization, things will feel chaotic. Make a list of all the things that you need to accomplish before the move such as changing your address, packing belongings, notifying landlords, scheduling movers and more. The more details you have in your plan, the better.
– Get Decluttering Done: You will need to start decluttering your house as soon as you find out that you’re going to be moving. Get rid of all the things that you don’t want to take with you to your new place. Everyone has stuff that they don’t use anymore and could live without. The fewer belongings you have to move, the better.
– Get Your Packing Supplies: When you start to gather your moving supplies, don’t get the cheapest ones possible. You will want high quality moving boxes, high quality tape, good markers, bubble wrap and more, ready for your move.
– Efficiently Pack: Another thing that you will want to start doing as soon as possible is to start packing. Do it in a methodical way so that you are working room by room to get your belongings packed up. When you do it in an organized way, you will find that unpacking is much easier.
– Keep Essentials Accessible: You will have some items that need to be kept out so that you have access to them throughout the move. Make sure you keep the things that you need all the time with you. This includes toiletries, clothes, documents, medications and other essential items.
– Hire Movers: Movers can make your short notice much more manageable. Hiring the right moving company to pack, unpack and get you moved can make all the difference in your move.
