5 Tips for a Stress-Free Moving Day

How to prepare for the big day and keep your sanity intact

Published: August 15, 2023

Moving day can be chaotic, but with proper planning, you can minimize stress and ensure a smooth transition to your new home. Start by creating a detailed checklist at least a month before your move. This should include tasks like notifying utility companies, updating your address, and scheduling your movers.

Pack strategically by starting with items you use less frequently. Label boxes clearly with their contents and the room they belong in. Keep essential items in a separate box that you'll take with you personally. This should include medications, important documents, basic toiletries, and a change of clothes.

On moving day, make sure pathways are clear and designate someone to direct the movers. Having snacks and water available for everyone will help maintain energy levels throughout the day.
