Visualize your move in advance, even when using professional senior movers. As a result, you will gain greater clarity about your move. Plus, it removes some of the stress from the moving process when you visualize it in advance. This action also helps to manage expectations and the stress that often comes with moving.

If you are a Baby Boomer and planning to move, we recommend you get started 2 to 3 months in advance of your move date. We recommend this because it provides you with enough time to put your important documents in a safe place for transporting, de-clutter your home, create an inventory list of what needs to be moved and to start packing.
You should book local senior movers Westchester as soon as you know where and when you are moving to New York. Scheduling your move in advance has its benefits. It provides more choices and flexibility on moving dates, services, and pricing. These are all important if you want your move to go smoothly.

When planning a move to a new location, everything changes including your lifestyle. Be sure to think about what you need in your new location. Make a list of what is important to you and what items you want to have around you to make it feel more like home. These items will increase the speed at which you will adapt to your new home. Having familiarity around you in a new space adds comfort and security. By creating a list, you also add a reference to identified items that are important to you. Plus you can use it as a check list to assure these items arrive safely.

Prior to your move get rid of the stuff you don’t need. Clear out the clutter. Plan a garage sale, have a donation truck pickup unwanted items from your doorstep, or give away your family heirloom to deserving family members. If you have a lot of unwanted belongings that are of little value (to anyone), you may want to consider using a junk removal service. If you are short on time when moving, you may even consider renting a dumpster. Remember you are paying to move each item you take with you, so remove clutter and only move what you want or need. You’ll save money on your move and have less to unpack.

Be proactive about your relocation. Alert your friends, family, and neighbors of your new location. Send out announcements about your address and or Phone number changes. Consider transfering your long-time home phone number to a cell phone, so your friends and family can still reach you at the same phone number. File a change of address at the post office. Do this so that all of your mail is forwarded to your new location.

If you start planning your move a bit closer to your move date, it might make sense to hire professional packers to pack up your belongings. Hiring professional Westchester senior movers and packers speeds up the senior moving process, as they do not have the same emotional attachment to your possessions that you may have, and they are focused on getting the job done, rather than reflecting on the memories from each item being packed.

Be sure to include any necessary medications, emergency phone numbers, and other essentials. You want the first few nights to be as stress-free as possible. So, be sure to include a bag with overnight accessories, such as toiletries (toothbrush/paste, razor, soap, and shampoo), linens (favorite blankets and pillows), and clothing ( few outfits, pj’s and slippers/shoes). The easier it is to find items in need, the calmer and happier you will be in your new location.
