How to prepare for moving day?

The preparation for moving day is notorious for its palpable stress, hectic activities and somewhat characteristic moving day mistakes. Ideally, the relocation preparation should start the moment the residential move is confirmed and, under ideal conditions, it should end just before moving day itself knocks on your door.

Now here comes the key element that often proves to be the difference between a problem-free move to another home and a chaotic one where money, time and nerves are put to the test. And of course, that key element is organization. In fact, proper organization when moving house can save you a world of troubles and should make things go as smoothly as they ever can go.

To help you prepare for moving day in the best possible way, here are the 8 most important jobs you are strongly recommended to complete in order to have the perfect move you want.

#1: Decision time: professional movers or DIY?
The preparation for moving day checklist starts with arguably the most important decision you need to make in the very beginning: should you hire the professional services of a top rated moving company or should you try to move on your own? You should know that this essential decision of yours will ultimately determine how the entire residential move will play out. Therefore, you must know how to recognize the specific indicators that will give you a hint which way is best for you in terms of money, time, safety, and peace of mind.

#2: Set your own moving calendar
While getting ready for moving day, it’s important to follow a good schedule where the tasks you are expected to do are presented in a logical and sensible manner. With the help of your personal moving calendar, you will be able to organize your pre-move time in a way so that you don’t waste a single day. Now that you know whether you will move by yourself or use an experienced moving company, you are ready to start filling up your calendar with 1) personalized and 2) prioritized move related jobs that make perfect sense for you and you alone.

#3: Inventory your entire home
To best prepare for moving out, one of the first tasks in your moving checklist should be to inventory your house or apartment. Now, before you ask why you should even consider doing that potentially time-consuming task, let’s quickly point out its benefits for you. A detailed inventory list will help you 1) sort out your possessions before the packing marathon starts, 2) create a packing list to know what each moving box contains, 3) keep constant track of your belongings throughout the move, 4) have your moving costs estimated by sending the ready inventory over to a cross country moving company.

#4: Get rid of unwanted stuff
While preparing for moving day, one thing should be perfectly clear to you – the weight of the overall shipment will have a great impact on the final relocation bill. In other words, the fewer items you decide to move to your new residence, the less money you will have to pay in the end. Which is not a bad thing, is it? Mark down in your inventory sheet all the household items that are not worth moving for one reason or another, and then just get rid of them. You have good options here – sell some of them online or at a pre-move sale, gift them to friends or family, donate them to charity, or simply throw them for recycling.

#5: Initiate the packing process
Here comes the most important pre-move task ahead of you – packing up your home for a move. If you don’t realize its tremendous important for the success of your own move, you will soon do so. The three most essential things to remember before you roll up your sleeves are 1) start thinking about packing as early in your preparation for moving day as possible, 2) the rooms you take care of first should be the hardest ones to pack, and 3) packing an entire household is not a job for a single person, so get help at all costs – from your good friends or from professional packers.

#6: Take care of your kids and pets
If you’re moving house with a child (baby, toddler, school-aged child, or teenager), things can suddenly get more complicated than you need them to be. In addition to worrying about their safety, you want to make sure than they are your allies and will cooperate with the tough preparation for moving day. And although there are many things to keep in mind when moving with children, their safety and well-being remains your number one priority. And of course, the same goes for any pets you might own – dogs, cats, birds, fish, rabbits, etc. After all, they are part of your family as well. The number one safety rule on Moving day is to keep both small kids and pets away from the relocation action.

#7: Get the friendly help you need
If you have reached the conclusion that the best course of action for you will be to organize and execute a self-move, then you’re going to need some assistance from your good pals – moving assistance either during the packing marathon, or on moving day itself, or even on both occasions. You might forget the most fundamental principle when asking friends to help you move in your attempt to prepare for moving day on time. And that principle states that your buddies are probably juggling busy schedules themselves, so 1) you need to reach out to them early enough, and 2) they are under no obligation to give you a hand, so treat the whole matter as delicately as you can.

#8: Prepare for moving day itself
Still not sure how to prepare for moving day? There are so many things to do on moving day that you will probably soon find yourself overwhelmed and partly confused. Make sure you familiarize yourself with this detailed moving day checklist to help you organize your time and guide your actions during the Big day. Also, you are strongly recommend to take a look at our extensive list of things you will need on moving day so that everything goes smoothly from start to finish.

What You Should Be Doing One Week Before Moving Day:

After months of planning, preparation and tough decisions, moving day is less than a week away! The few days before your move are often some of the busiest days, as you finish getting everything in order.  By tying up the final few loose ends the week before moving day, you can quell any feelings of uncertainty you may be having.

We hope you’ve been following our past posts on what to do throughout the moving process – if not, you can catch up by following the links below:

• What You Should Be Doing 2-4 Weeks Before Moving Day
• What You Should Be Doing 4-6 Weeks Before Moving Day
• What You Should Be Doing 6-8 Weeks Before Moving Day

Prepare your belongings for the move

With moving day right around the corner, now is the time to make sure all your belongings are ready to be transported.  Make sure your refrigerator and freezer are disconnected and defrosted in advance, so no water leaks onto your other possessions.  Washers and driers need to be disconnected from the walls, and things such as grandfather clocks need to be serviced before they can be safely transported.  Your mover can likely work with you to arrange a third party to handle many of these tasks for you.

Also, remember to take anything permanently mounted to your walls down before the movers arrive.  Things such as drapery rods, towel bars, or mounted paintings should be removed and placed on the floor.  It is also a good idea to unplug and pack the cables from your TVs, computers, and electronics in advance.

Finish up your packing

If you are packing yourself you will need to have all of your small items boxed up before the movers arrive.  Hopefully, you already have packed many of your non-essential belongings.  Now is the time to focus on getting everything remaining in order.

Go through your drawers one last time to remove anything that could spill or break. Leaving soft items such as clothing or blankets is fine—your mover can move your furniture with these things inside.

Remember to check all the closets, cabinets,  storage lockers, and the attic for any overlooked belongings.  Also, remember to bring home anything you are planning on moving from your work office, and gather any belongings you may have loaned out to friends.

Create an “Instant Aid” box

It is a good idea to put together a box of things that you might need immediately upon arrival at your new home. Unpacking can sometimes take a little while, so you will want to have some items set aside for easy access.  We suggest packing bathroom supplies including toilet paper, kitchen items such as paper towels and paper plates, cleaning supplies, a basic tool kit, and of course some snacks and easy to prepare food items.

It is often helpful to have your “Instant Aid” box in a clear plastic container in order to be able to see its contents and distinguish it from the countless other boxes that will be involved in the move.  If you don’t have room for this box in your car, ask your movers to load it into the van last—and unload it first—so you can get to it as soon as you pull into the driveway.

Once these last tasks are all complete you should be just about all set for the big move. Now the hard part is over and you can sit back relax. On moving day the movers will handle all the heavy lifting for you.

Packing Pays Off:

Entering any sort of endeavor with a well organized approach will always yield a better outcome. In this instance, preparing and packing as much of your belongings as possible before move day will not only save you a headache, but a tremendous amount of money as well.

Considering how stressful moving can be, the prep stage is crucial and, often-times, ill-executed. Generally, reasons for this are that you simply don’t have enough time between work, looking after your kids, and attending other social functions to squeeze in the necessary hours to pack or that the price of packing supplies (boxes, tape, markers, bubble wrap, newspaper, and trash bags) seems far too high to justify the need for it or even that, given the fast pace real estate market, your home sold much faster than you were ever prepared for. While these reasons hold merit for being a valid excuse, let’s first go over how they can severely penalize your wallet once the movers arrive.

For the sake of running numbers, we’ll assume that you, the paying customer, are moving full contents from a single story, 1,500sqft house with no major obstacles to the same nearby. A job of this magnitude would require three movers who can prepare, load, transport, and unload your well packed and organized items at an approximate speed of 1Hr and 30min per 500sqft. As the majority of reputable moving companies charge hourly for most local residential moves, the rate for the given manpower would be $135.00 per hour. This means that in 4.5-5Hrs, you will be comfortably situated in your new home for a reasonable price of $605-675.00. So what if you didn’t have everything as packed and organized as you had hoped come move day?

---

“So what if you didn’t have everything as packed and organized as you had hoped come move day?”

---

Any professional moving team is going to come equipped with heavy duty aluminum dollies that can move anything from a large dresser to a stack of 5-6 boxes at a time. These tools come in handy as they allow your movers to maximize the amount of items they can transport to and from the moving truck in the fastest time. However, if you neglect to pack all of your belongings and, as a result, have several small and awkwardly shaped miscellaneous items strewn about that your movers are then forced to individually carry by hand to and from the truck, the number of trips your movers have to take significantly increases. Now, if the number of trips to and from the truck increases, it is safe to say that the speed at which the movers are able to move 500sqft would conversely increase to approximately 2Hrs. At this rate, it would take closer to 6-6.5Hrs to get you comfortably situated in your new home at a price of $810.00-$875.00. Now that’s a pretty BIG difference!

So, in the end, it truly pays off to pack as much as possible prior to move day. If you are needing an affordable packing service to take care of this task for you, then I highly recommend that you give the lovely ladies over at Get Organized a call (more information under the ‘Packing’ tab on our website). They are far more efficient than most packing crews from full service moving companies and will take care of all of your packing/organization needs at far superior price point. If you would rather take care of the packing yourself, however, I recommend that you start as early as possible, give yourself a deadline/agenda to stick to, check your local schools, liquor stores, and/or recycled box stores (TreeHuggers in North Dallas) for free/cheap boxes and packing supplies, and label everything accordingly so that you know exactly where to direct your movers as they unload your belongings in your new home.

10 Signs It's Time to Move to A New City:

Moving is one of the hardest things to do. Uprooting your life and starting another one comes with a mixture of feelings: part of you might feel optimism for opening a new chapter in your life while another part of you may feel like you’ve quit or failed. Regardless of whether you get a new job or just need a change from the same old shit, there comes a time when you have no choice but to move.

Timing a move is tricky. You’ll be hesitant to leave behind the life you’ve built for yourself, the relationships you’ve forged, and the job it took you forever to get. On the other hand, you'd hate to miss out on new opportunities because you dragged your feet. No one can tell you when it’s time to seek greener pastures, but we can provide some signs that it might be time to go. Sometimes a change of scenery is just what you need. Find out if the grass really is greener with these 10 Signs It’s Time to Move to A New City.

Your Passion Lives Elsewhere

It is really easy to bargain with yourself when it comes to your dreams. No matter which way you cut it, the television industry lives in Los Angeles and New York, web start-ups congregate in San Francisco, and oil men reside in Texas. Though it is possible to be a huge fish in a smaller pond (just ask some of the best filmmakers in New Orleans and Austin), it isn't necessarily the best move. If there is a better place to be to do what you love, whether it be composing sonnets or catching trophy winning trout, it might be time to find your Mecca. We all know that the Internet has put careers within reach of people working remotely, but be real about what you're giving up if you don't live where the action is. Yes, you can design apps in your shack in rural North Dakota, but is that giving you the best chance at success?

You Haven't Lived Anywhere Else

You don't know if you don't try. Though this sounds like the sort of thing your mother would say in an attempt to get you to join marching band or math club, it's still good advice. There are people out there (we all know at least a few of them) who know deep down that they want to live their entire life in their hometown. There are also those people who graduate college and decide that they'll live out their days in their college town. There's nothing wrong with a decision like this, but if you aren't absolutely sure where you want to spend your life, it can't hurt to try something new. The worst thing that can happen is that you don't like it and opt to move back. If you move back, at least you'll be able to replace "What if?" with "I tried it and it sucked."

There's Some Place You've Always Wanted to Live

When I moved to New York City, a friend said to me, "You know, there are New York people, there are L.A. people, and there are career people." I often find myself thinking about how right he was. One of the most annoying parts of living in New York City is listening to people who "just love New York," and believe that it is "the greatest city in the world." While you may not always see the appeal of trying to find a bar that isn't packed to the gills as the harsh winds cool your dollar pizza or being forced to listen to a mariachi band while waiting for an hour to catch a weekend subway, some people honestly love it. I like to think I'm a "career person," in that I could make rural Minnesota work if I had to (apologies to my Vikings fans, you guys already have it hard enough). The point is, if there's a place that you love, why not live there? We've all met some older person who constantly sings the praises of their favorite city and has never spent a meaningful amount of time there. They love London or Paris or Beijing so much, yet they've only been once or twice. If there is a place you want nothing more than to spend your time in, why aren't you there? Regardless of your concept of the afterlife, you likely don't believe you'll be spending it in San Francisco or Seattle, so if there's some place you want to be, life's too short not to be there.

Your Goals Have Changed

In a society where we pour years of study and thousands of dollars into our chosen fields, it almost feels like a sin to abandon your path. Nevermind that you likely chose your career at eighteen years old. Think about the other things you liked when you were eighteen. Do you like any of the foods, bands, or clothes you were into back then? For those of you who aren't yet eighteen, think back to when you were twelve to get an accurate picture of what I'm talking about. Unless you suffer a worse case of arrested development than Buster Bluth, the answer is likely no. What reason do you have to stay a veterinarian now that you are a decade removed from that transformational experience you had rescuing a cat from a tree as a teenager? If you decide that what you really want to do (this year) is handcraft scented candles, then by all means go to the best city for handcrafted candle crafting and give it your best shot. If you go back to being a veterinarian, at least you'll have cool stories to tell about that one year you spent crafting candles.

You Hate the Weather

Don't roll your eyes at me. I can see you muttering "hashtag first world problems" to yourself as you read this. Here's the thing: we live in the first world, so we can have first world problems. If you absolutely hate the cold, can't stand the heat, or can't bear the wind, why are you still putting up with it? I can't count the number of times someone from L.A. has moaned to me how much they "miss seasons." If you've ever spent a winter in a Northeastern city, between the chattering teeth and strings of curse words, you'll hear people swear they are moving before next winter. Obviously, there are probably higher priorities when choosing where to live than the climate, but if it will make you happier, why not at least consider whether weather might further your life satisfaction? Now consider it three times fast.

Someone You Care About Is There

No one likes long distance relationships. That's why most of them end with one party hooking up with a fellow graduate student, co-worker, or cult member. That doesn't mean they can't work, but by definition, they aren't ideal. We could engage in some macho-posing here and trot out the old line that you shouldn't let a woman tell you what to do, let alone move for her, but let's be real here. It is now the twenty-first century and your lady likely has a career she cares about. If you work for a multi-national corporation with campuses in every major city or you work from home, it might be time to consider moving where she needs to be to succeed. If your girl gets into the best graduate school, lands her dream job, or has a burning desire to start a deep sea fishing business, why not try it with her? You can collect unemployment in any state, dawg.

You're Ready To Start A Family

Image via getoffcampus.com

The last thing most young men want to think about is starting a family, and if you're in the confirmed bachelor camp, feel free skip to the next slide. Then again, you've already read this far, so you could just keep reading. It's up to you. Anyway, if you've graduated college, you're going to see a few couples move to the suburbs and take on mortages in the next year or so. If you're an artist type or super career-driven, you'll tend to associate this with giving up or failure. Just a heads up: when you visit the people that make this choice and you see their huge houses and their happy children, you won't feel like it's them who failed. I'm not here to tell you that if you don't start a family you'll end up an empty husk on the corporate ladder. Bachelorhood remains amazing, from the casual sex to eating pizza for breakfast. All I'm saying is if you're feeling it's time to pull the "house and two and a half kids" card, no is going to fault you for it. In fact, your friends who are still downing beer by the pitcher and picking up girls at clubs might even be a little bit jealous.

You Realize You Were Running Away

Image via nashvillescene.com

Living in New York, every three months or so, you help pack a U-Haul for someone moving back to where they grew up. Even in our constantly changing world, 60% of people stay in the same state where they were born, and it's okay to join them. You'll meet a fair number of people who realize, after some time spent in distant locales, that they were always running away from something, and that it's time to go home. The fear of stagnation motivates many people to up and leave their hometown and try something else. Sometimes the drive to escape parents, ex-girlfriends, or slacker friends who hang out at the gas station leads them to pack up their parents' station wagon and head elsewhere. For many people, there comes a time to return after they've gained knowledge that they couldn't find around the block from their childhood home. There's no shame in moving back to where you lived before, as long as you come back having learned something about yourself.

You Have No Reason to Stay

Image via iwantcovers.com

You might look around some day and realize that the reason you moved somewhere no longer exists. Maybe you moved to Chicago with your college buddies after school, and one by one they have left. It could be that you moved to New York to act, but you've done a hell of a lot more waiting tables than acting over the last five years. Maybe the girlfriend you moved to Philadelphia for has become your ex-girlfriend. I'm not advocating running way from your problems, or hopping a few exits down the interstate every time a relationship implodes or you're handed a pink slip. On the other hand, if you're sitting at the coffee shop one day and your realize that your life would be no different sitting in a coffee shop in Austin or Boulder, maybe it is time to find a place that feels like it matters.

You Complain About Your City All the Time

Image via 10news.com

Don't get me wrong, everyone hates where they live a little bit. In New York, bitching about your rent and the subway's tardiness are as common as complaining about the weather. In order to live in Los Angeles, you are contractually obligated to bemoan the shallowness of the populace twice a day. In Pittsburgh, you either complain about how the Steelers are playing or you complain that everyone is obsessed with the Steelers. If your complaints about a city go beyond your standard bitching and you start to sound like the bitter old guy who sits at the diner alone yelling at no one in particular, it might to check in with yourself. If you hate the transportation, the politics, or how nothing happens after 10 p.m., those things aren't likely to change any time soon. Maybe absence will make the heart grow fonder, and if that happens, you can return to hating everything about your city with a renewed energy and vigor once you've tried a new place and hated it too.
