So you bought a new house and the big move is coming up fast. Moving isn’t fun for anyone, but there are a few things you can do to make it easier. The key is planning. You never want to feel rushed while you’re packing because then boxes will get stuffed with knick knacks from all over the house and unpacking will be a nightmare.
Here are 5 tips to make moving a little less awful:
Start Sooner Than You Think
Everyone knows packing takes time, but packing takes even more time than that. Plan accordingly. Start packing all nonessentials a month or two before moving day, depending on the size of your home. Start with extra towels, the kids least favorite toys and the linen closets, leaving behind only the essentials. Starting early means you can work slowly and avoid the last minute rush.
