Chaos and stress—two things that always happen on moving day. Tired of dealing with both? Give the following tips a try:
Be ready
Start preparing by looking for moving and storage services in Santa Monica as early as six months before D-day. That might seem like a long time but life often gets in the way of things. Before you know it, you’ll only be weeks away from moving day.
Do piles
Put up everything that needs to go into the same box or room in the same pile. That’s an easy way to pack them all together so you can also unpack them with ease. You won’t have to find yourself rummaging through different boxes on your first night in your new home because you can’t seem to find your bed sheets or toothpaste.
Cull through stuff
This is a good time to go through all your belongings and decide which ones you’re going to keep, toss away or give. If you have a lot, you might want to do a garage sale as well. Whatever proceeds you get out of it can go to your moving day costs. The rest of the stuff, you can give away.
Make lists
It’s good to list down all the things you’ll be taking with you. Make sure your moving and storage team in Santa Monica has a copy of all your belongings as well. That’s going to come in handy when all the boxes and furniture have been unloaded. Check everything against the list to make sure nothing’s missing before you sign off on the mover.
Keep a checklist
Keep a checklist of all the things you need to get done before moving day, says The Spruce. Whether it’s returning books to the local library or getting your dog’s certificates from the vet, lists keep everything on an organized keel.
