Sure, moving is a headache for everyone. And for those of us living in metropolitan areas (stress epicenters), moving can inspire full-blown breathing-into-a-paper-bag anxiety attacks. Take a deep breath. Here are tips for packing your life in 24 hours. If you follow them, your move won’t have you considering the suburbs.
Tip 1:
Streamline — the trash can is your friend. Use the move as an opportunity to throw away stuff that you never use. According to Annalisa Burgos of HGTV’s Frontdoor.com, “The number one tip is to be very cognizant of what you bring to your next place.” In other words, that bright purple dress you never wear? Sell, give or throw it away.
Tip 2:
Use packing materials that you own. Put everything you can into your suitcases and the plastic storage bins gathering dust under your bed. Burgos suggests wrapping anything fragile in sheets or stuffing it between pillows. If you still need boxes, Burgos says ask for some at a liquor store; they’re sure to have them. Buy beer while you’re there. You’ll need it for tip 3.
Tip 3:
Bribe your friends into helping. Tell them you’ll make it worthwhile by having a new-apartment-inaugural-party. Make sure you keep a positive attitude. If you’re whiny, your friends aren’t going to want to help, and the only company you’ll have left will be heavy boxes.
Tip 4:
Buy markers and label and organize your boxes. Keep a master checklist and write on each box what you’ve put inside (e.g. fine china, shampoo, etc). Color-code your box labels by room — this will make things easier when its time to settle.
Tip 5:
Keep a “last-to-go” box. Burgos says this should include things that you use all the time, as well as important move-related documents. Throw some snacks, aspirin and water in there, too. The last thing you want to do when you have a headache is rummage through your suitcase.
Finally:
Don’t procrastinate! Moving is a step-by-step process, so get started now.
