- Putting up pictures in a room that never impacted you.
- A pile of unorganized stacked boxes.
- Friends who cancel plans for the 50th day in a row to help.
- Waking up the following day with a stiff back and clenched muscles.
- Book Your Movers Early: The best movers typically fill their calendars pretty fast — with weekends, in particular, a hot commodity — so it makes sense to arrange your move early.
- Decluttering Before The Move: The less you have the easier (and cheaper) the move will be. Take extra time and declutter before packing.
- Label Your Boxes: It is going to take you some extra time to create the labels for your boxes while packing them, but believe us it is worth it because unpacking with the labels on the boxes would be a cakewalk.
- Include a ‘First Night’ Box: To help limit the searching, pack up a box (or include one) of essentials, from toiletries to chargers to a change of clothes.
- Negotiating with the movers: If you have fragile or valuable items, let your movers know in advance. That way, they can take additional care in keeping these pieces protected when they do move.
