1. Essential Moving Tips

2. Introduction
The time period leading up to moving
day and the moving day itself can be
hectic and may be emotionally and
physically draining.
However, with proper planning and
some handy tips, you can ensure that
your moving day runs smoothly and is
stress-free for you and your family.

3. Moving Tips
Moving into a new home gives you a
fresh start. Use this opportunity to de-
clutter and organize. Get rid of
anything that you will not need and
consider putting items that you do not
use on a regular basis into a long-term
storage unit.
With less things to transport to your
new place, you save time and money.

4. Moving Tips
Foresight is extremely important for
packing and moving. Keep detailed
record of what you put in each box. An
efficient way of doing this is to number
each box and on a notepad, write down
the items associated with each number.
Be as specific as possible.

5. Moving Tips
Related to the previous tip, color coding your boxes can be
beneficial. Each room in your home is given a specific color.
Place colored stickers beside the box number – ensure that
the sticker is the right color for the room that the items in the
box came from. Make sure to note down the color associated
with each room.

6. Moving Tips
Make certain you have the right moving supplies and that you
have enough of it to avoid frustration. Essential supplies
include: boxes, strong tape, tapegun, newspaper and
bubblewrap. Keep your items in one area that is easily
accessible.
Individual colored toteboxes for each family member is also
effective for organizing and easy retrieval. Personal belongings
that they will be using until the last minute at the old home and
things that they would require right away at the new home can
be kept in this box.

7. Moving Tips
Start the process early and pack away
things that you do not need as soon as
you possibly can.
This may include seasonal items or
extra electronics that you do not use. Pack up winter items early if you are
moving in the summer.

8. Moving Tips
Use empty luggage as extra storage
space. You can also re-purpose any
extra recycling bins or wastebaskets for
packing. With less items to move, you
save time, energy and money.

9. Conclusion
Using these simple tricks can make
moving stress-free and a lot easier.
Your new home will be a new
adventure and you do not want the
burden of packing and moving to
weigh you down.
