Get help, early
It’s something too many of us do – we get super excited about a new beginning in a new home, and fail to prepare ourselves for the enormity of shifting our entire lives.
Look, it’s understandable, but the one sure-fire way to raise your stress levels come moving-day-eve is to have a houseful of stuff and none of it squared away ready to go.

Enlist friends & family
If you’re lucky enough to have mates or family close by whose kindness you can impose upon, fill them in early on how much you need to move, when you need it shifted, and how you plan to do it. This way, you can work together to slowly de-construct your setup, and get ready for the big day.
In the weekends leading up to your move, start putting away non-essential bits and pieces, leaving you only a few more boxes to pack last minute. Having all the small stuff ready to go will save you immeasurable worry, and you’ll just be able to load everything on the truck along with your larger furniture and appliances on the day.
(PS – don’t forget to sort out the moving truck if you’re going DIY!)

Go Pro
If the task seems too much to even think about, call in some professional help. What might seem impossible to you is the everyday bread and butter of moving companies. Whether you’re moving down the road or down the world, it’s what they do.
As soon as you have a date in mind, head online to read some reviews of local companies, and get some quotes. Make sure the one you choose is reputable, and look for any guarantees prospective companies can offer. Of course, having your Home Contents cover in place doesn’t hurt, either.
