Ideally, it is best to plan a move well in advance in order to properly plan all of the many tasks involved in the process. Unfortunately, moves sometimes happen on a much tighter time frame and often call for a last minute move.
Make a move plan as soon as possible
If you need to move home on short notice, whether it is due to a job opportunity, a quick closing on your old home, your apartment building being sold or something entirely different, it can be a shock to the system to plan a last minute move. These helpful moving tips from Clark’s Moving and Logistics will help you keep calm even if you don’t have much time before your move.
The most important thing to have is a plan when it comes to moving. While your timeline and the amount of tasks you can accomplish may be limited, the time you spend making a checklist can definitely pay off. One important thing to keep in mind is the scheduling processes that involve another individuals or a company to complete. Whether it’s hiring professional movers and packers or scheduling utility shutoffs, these tasks need to be completed as soon as possible.
It’s Time to Get to Work!
Accepting the fact that you’ll have to do more work and sacrifice some nights and weekends in the short term can help put you in the right mindset for handling the process. Start getting to work packing and handling all the difficult but necessary tasks associated with moving. You may want to plan for a reward once your move is over, whether it’s a day of rest and relaxation before you start unpacking or a nice dinner out once your professional movers finish unloading your belongings.
Try to Stay Sane!
Working too hard, or doing too much in a short period of time, can lead to excess stress – and that’s the last thing you want to deal with during a last minute move. When you make your moving plan, be sure to understand your limits. Don’t hesitate to ask friends and family for help when Packing, helping out with a garage sale or even keeping an eye on your old home until it is sold or rented to a new tenant are all areas where the people close to you can pitch in.
