Golan's Moving Day Tips - How to De-Clutter

Many of us have a tendency to keep a lot of things and forget about them in the future. We stuff our drawers and closets with various items, and then tend to just leave it there for weeks, months, and even years. When moving day is fast approaching and you pull open your drawer once more, you may be taken aback by the sheer clutter that you've accumulated over a period of time. Closets can also be filled with clothes that may no longer fit you. Packing all these things will put you to the test as stress can accumulate more.

DE-CLUTTERING YOUR HOME BEFORE MOVING DAY. A GOLAN'S MOVERS TIP.

In order to keep moving day as inexpensive and as hassle-free as possible, it should be part of your listed procedures to sort the items that you want to bring in your new home from the things that you no longer want to see.

Move ahead of time.

This does not mean that you move your moving day ahead of schedule. What this means is move your behind weeks before moving day. The more time you give yourself to prepare, the lesser stress your mind can handle.

Plan at least two weeks, or even more, before your moving day on what items to keep and what to do away with. Within your busy schedules, block out a few hours for sorting out these items. Tackle a different room each day. By working wisely, you won't be tempted to just throw all your clutter inside boxes.

Start using them.

If you have extra of some items, like toothpaste and toilet paper, then start using them. These things are indeed miniature but can take up space inside your boxes. This holds especially true if you like to buy bulk items from bargain sales. This way, you have less of these items to pack and bring with you for the trip.

Create a bag/box of necessities.

You don't have to pack absolutely everything. For example, you don't have to pack a roll of toilet paper, your medicines, and other essentials. Use a separate box or bag for these that you can hand-carry with you during the trip. This way you will (1) have less items to put inside large moving boxes, and (2) will always be prepared in case of emergencies.

Ways to Ensure A Smooth Moving Experience As Told By Golan's Movers

The process of moving is, by far, one of the most strenuous encounters ever to befall our very existence. If you think the previous statement is understatement, then you may have not yet experienced the entirety of the whole moving endeavor by your lonesome.

There are many who would lose their minds over the things that needs to be done and the items required to be purchased for the upcoming move. Even though it could become very stressful, one should never be too complacent and cram everything up until the last second.

Here are some points to ponder when you are about to move to your new home.

ENSURING A SMOOTH RELOCATION AS TOLD BY GOLAN'S MOVERS

1.) Before getting moving quotes from professional movers like Golan's Moving, make sure you know what to keep and what to give. You don't need every minute thing to be brought inside your new home, now do you? Well, unless that is you're a packrat. Else, you may want to hold a yard or garage sale for the items, equipment, appliances, and even furniture that you won't be needing anymore. Extra cash is always good for moving.

Aside from holding a yard sale, you can also give the items to charity. What may be considered your trash may be someone else's treasure.

2.) Contact professional moving companies in advance, like weeks before your moving date. This way, you are sure that you get the slot for their busy schedule. Once again, don't wait until the last minute to contact them or else you might find yourself hauling those boxes by yourself to your moving vehicle.

3.) Watch the weather. Many people do not consider the weather when their moving day approaches. If the climate changes drastically, or even for the worse, then you can make changes to your plans even when moving day is still days away.

4.) Notify the neighbors of your moving date. Why? Because they might find it quite shocking to see you suddenly moving boxes into a moving vehicle on your moving day. Not to mention that moving trucks can block the driveways of some of your neighbors, so it's better to give them the heads up beforehand.

5.) Leave every bit of process to the pros. If you do not want to make such a fuss over relocating, then better contact Golan's Moving & Storage from the very start. They can help you with everything about moving, such as packing, lifting boxes, and even delivery.
