Organized Moves And Simple Steps For Keeping Everything On Track
Daniel Harris You think you have time. Then, suddenly, there is just stuff everywhere. Piles in corners, old papers under the bed, the fridge is still full. People keep asking if you are ready. Of course, you are not. Someone always mentions Safe Responsible Movers when things get messy, but even with help, you are still in the middle of it.
Lists Are Good But Only If You Remember Them
You try making a list. First, on your phone, then maybe on a sticky note. Sometimes you lose it, find it again later. Some things get packed twice, some things not at all. A marker runs out. You tape up a box and then realize you forgot to put your shoes in there. It happens. Not a big deal.
One Room At A Time Works Best
Trying to do everything at once never goes well. Clear off one table. Empty a drawer. Sometimes you get distracted and start on something else. It is fine. Just come back to what you started. Stack boxes by the door, out of the way. If you have extra bags, fill them. People get fancy with colored tape, but a sharpie works. Just write “kitchen” or “bathroom.” It does not have to be perfect.
- Keep a pile for things you use every day
- Pack heavy things in small boxes, lighter things in big boxes
- Leave cleaning stuff for last, you will need it
- Always double check the closets, it is easy to miss things
- Bring snacks and water, you will forget until you are hungry
Extra Hands Make Everything Go Faster
Doing it all yourself takes forever. Friends help if they can. Sometimes you just need more muscle. Movers do this every day. They see all kinds of messes. They do not care if your boxes are weird shapes or your couch is too big. They show up, figure it out, get it done. When you use Safe Responsible Movers things move faster, and you do not have to explain everything.
Boxes end up in the new place. Not everything is where you thought it would be, but it all made it. You sit down, breathe out, and know you got through it. Maybe not perfect, but you did it.
