Moving got you feeling like you’re herding cats while juggling chainsaws? ๐ฑ Fear not, future home-hopper! We’ve got 8 mind-blowing hacks that’ll turn your move from a “chaotic nightmare” to “a piece of cake.”
1.ย ๐ Plan Like a Time-Traveling Mastermind
- Create a moving checklist that would make even Hermione Granger jealous
- Include all the boring-but-important contacts (utilities, inspectors, loan officers, etc.)
- Pro tip: Start planning like yesterday. This is no time to procrastinate!
2.ย ๐งน Declutter Like Marie Kondo on a Caffeine High
- If you haven’t used it in 2 years, it’s probably not “sparking joy”
- Donate or sell unused items
- Less stuff = Less to pack = More time for relaxing
3.ย ๐ฆ Ditch the Cardboard, Embrace the Plastic
- Say “bye-bye” to flimsy, smelly, moisture-loving cardboard boxes
- Rent our sturdy, stackable, eco-friendly plastic totes instead
- Calculate your tote needs hereย (Warning: May cause excessive organization excitement)
4.ย ๐ท๏ธ Label Like a Graffiti Artist with OCD
- Color-code labels to match rooms (Blue for bathroom, unless you’re feeling rebellious)
- Be specific: “Kitchen Stuff” is meh, “Coffee Maker & Other Life-Saving Devices” is gold
- Your future self will thank you.ย
5.ย ๐ Befriend the Almighty Dolly
- Why be a pack mule when you can be a dolly-pushing genius?
- Move multiple totes at once, save your back for more important things (like victory dances)
- Check out our dollies here. ย They will make you feel like a moving superhero.
6. ๐งณ Pack an “Open-Me-First” Tote
- Fill with essentials: Toothbrush, toiletries, chargers, snacks, a change of clothes, tissues, toilet paper, and your lucky moving socks
- Include important docs and account numbers
- Also, we suggest you bring this tote with you. Or you could risk losing it among your other totes and furniture in the moving van (unless you enjoy impromptu scavenger hunts).
- Be sure to clearly label it OPEN ME FIRST or risk “crashing out.”
7.ย ๐ฅ Protect Fragile Items Like They’re Fabergรฉ Eggs
- Wrap breakables in clothes, towels, or your ugly Christmas sweater.
- Heavy stuff on bottom, fragile on top (just like a wedding cake)
- When in doubt, add more padding. You can never have too many socks.
8.ย โฐ Time is Your Frenemy
- Everything takes longer than you think. Yes, even that.
- Build in extra time for unexpected “fun” (like finding your cat’s secret toy collection behind the fridge)
- Let us handle delivery and pickupย so you can focus on important things (like perfecting your victory dance)
