Make moving day less stressful

Deciding to move homes is one of the biggest and most stressful events that can occur in your lifetime. The last thing you need is chaos, so here are our top tips for planning and organising your moving day to make it less stressful.

Pack rooms one by one

When the time comes, packing every item you own into boxes for removal can seem incredibly daunting, especially if you have a lot of belongings. Start by taking one room at a time. This makes the process seem more controlled, and by organising your packing process you will make life easier for yourself when it comes to setting up your new rooms in your new home as you'll know where everything from one room is. 

Label your boxes

Leading on from packing rooms one at a time, labelling your boxes is one of the best things you can do to stay organised and less stressful on moving day. While it sounds like one of the more common procedures of moving house, it is easily overlooked. Common sense would suggest that if you are packing your items away one room after the other then naturally labelling boxes accordingly would make things easier for you come unpacking them. 

Update your address

You will need to redirect all your bills and landline phones to your new home or office so this is something that you should have arranged before moving day itself when you told the powers that you are moving home. The list of redirects can also include the DVLA, banks, schools, TV Licensing Authority, employers and others who may need to know about your change of address.  

Make arrangements for children/pet sitters 

On moving day, you might feel stressed and nervous but you know how to deal with those emotions. If you have children and pets who aren't used to a chaotic environment without really understanding what is happening, their stress could affect your stress and make the situation a whole lot worse.. Make sure you arrange for your kids and pets to be looked after by other members of your family or friends. That way your attention will not get distracted elsewhere and you can focus on what is necessary to do on moving day.
