Here are some simple steps to turn the pressure of packing into something a little more sedate.
Moving to a new place or a new home is always exciting. Packing for it, however, is an extremely laborious and deceptively strategic endeavour. For some even packing for a weekend gateway or a more extended summer trip turns into a jittery affair. They forever remain neurotic about appropriate weather complaint or particular clothes. Now imagine the tension if it’s going to be a bit more permanent than that. And if it involves moving to an altogether new town or city — they are certain to blow steam. But then, there should be, and there’s a huge difference when packing a suitcase and packing up the whole house. However, the same kind of logic applies. So, let us take these easy steps to turn the packing panic to something a little more sedate.
The very day you settle on a moving date, box something or the other up. Get the momentum going by closing up just s few boxes for which huge decisions or mutual approvals may not be needed. This will immediately take care of procrastination and help you set up a steady packing schedule. At any rate, it will speed up the conversation and planning — all of which will help you to avoid the last moment mad rush and dash and the ever anxiety of perhaps leaving something out.
Once you start you’ll automatically know the various types of packing supplies and tools, you’ll need. Make a checklist and shop around. You’ll not only probably get the best prices but a bulk purchase discount as well.
Take cognizance of the old boxes and bags that you may have to pack in the to-be-discarded items and label them in accordance to where you may want to send them.
Begin with the items of your storage area. You may want to discard items of no sentimental or functional value or conversely find usages for some of it in your new home.
Try to gather all of your boxes into a room that you will be increasingly using less of, prior to moving out. Doing so will eliminate crowding packages in pathways and not hamper your basic house usages.
The very last items you should wrap up is your kitchen, bathroom and bedroom belongings. You can not only set your bathroom, kitchen, and bedrooms, the first thing when you move in, but also eliminate easily available or no more required items vis-à-vis the packing weight.
