What to do with photos, electronics and files?
You should store things that matter most like your photos and files on a hard drive or uploaded to a cloud service that you utilize. If you take photos of the connections for all your electronics it will be easier to reassemble them once you’re in your new space.
What about our furry friends?
Don’t forget that moving is stressful on pets too. Sometimes it’s for you and them if they are boarded spend the night with friends or family than have them live through movers coming through the house and the inevitable chaos.
How to pack your boxes
When you pack, label or color code your boxes so you know what goes where. And you should pack only items for that room in that box even if there’s room for more. You’ll definitely appreciate the organization later when you’re riffling through the box. If you mark and set aside any essential or daily use items then you can access those immediately upon moving in. This includes the first day/night essentials such as bedding, toiletries, and medications. FYI, make sure you put the essential boxes on the truck last so that they’re the first off.
What not to pack and store on the moving truck? There are definitely items that must travel with you. The portable hard drive is one, along with jewelry, passports, important and private papers. You should transport them in the car with you or in your carry on.
And at your new home, don’t forget to have a handy cleaning kit ready with your favorite cleaning supplies. The prior owner may have cleaned but it might not be up to your standards and there are always bits that get missed.
