Moving Into a New House

By madhu on April 27, 2016
Designate one corner of every room for day-to-day essentials. In reality, most people only use a tiny fraction of their possessions on a day to day basis... the toiletries and cosmetics needed to get through a given day, an average size pot and pan, and few dishes and glasses, a computer...you get the idea.

I'm assuming you are packing yourself.

Designate one corner of every room for day-to-day essentials. In reality, most people only use a tiny fraction of their possessions on a day to day basis... the toiletries and cosmetics needed to get through a given day, an average size pot and pan, and few dishes and glasses, a computer...you get the idea. Put all of the essentials in each room...in ONE corner of the room.

1. Choose one room at a time to focus on. Starting from the least important room...like the guest room or the living room, begin packing everything except for that one corner I just mentioned. Carefully wrap breakables before placing them in boxes. Mark each box 'Kitchen' or 'Master Bedroom' so when you get to your new home, you'll know which boxes go where and you'll be able to easily unpack. Once you pack up one room, move on to another.

2. Weed out. As you're packing, ONLY pack items you truly love and/or need. As you find things that don't, put them in a 'Donation Box' and donate every time that box is full. Don't move clutter with you!

3. Give yourself deadlines. Depending on how close your move is, you may need to give yourself deadlines for motivation. If you're moving in two months, give yourself a goal/deadline of one room packed up each week, for instance. If you're moving next week, you're going to have to up your goals/deadlines...and probably get family, friends, or hire someone to help you.

4. Make an 'Unpack Immediately' box...or two. The last box you're going to pack...is the first box you're going to want to unpack once you're in your new home. These items will likely be the items you've stashed in each room's corners as mentioned in my number one point above. In doing so, you'll be able to easily access all of your essentials... and you'll have more time and flexibility to unpack little by little afterwards.

Hope this helps. Good luck with your move! Do you need help moving financing the move into your dream home? Call Madhu on 0425 431 086 or contact us via the contact form.
