Moving can feel overwhelming, but with the right planning, it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re downsizing, relocating, or simply decluttering, here are 10 tips that will make your move more manageable.
1. Start Early
Begin packing at least 4–6 weeks before moving day to avoid last-minute stress.
2. Declutter First
Donate or recycle items you no longer need before you pack.
3. Label Everything
Clearly mark each box with the room and contents.
4. Use Quality Packing Supplies
Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, and tape to protect your belongings.
5. Pack a Moving Day Essentials Box
Include toiletries, snacks, chargers, and a change of clothes.
6. Protect Fragile Items
Wrap dishes, glassware, and electronics securely.
7. Consider Self-Storage
If your new home isn’t ready, renting a storage unit gives you flexibility.
8. Keep Documents Handy
Don’t pack passports, leases, or contracts in moving boxes.
9. Ask for Help
Family, friends, or professional movers can ease the workload.
10. Take Breaks
Moving is physical work — pace yourself to avoid injury.
