Plan the move correctly – this way it works without any stress
The timely preparation
In order for you to be able to complete the move without any stress, the entire move should be planned at an early stage. If, for example, disposal and storage is required when moving, this should be requested with sufficient advance notice. In this way, the necessary storage space and disposal options can be planned and you don’t have to resort to an expensive emergency solution or, in the worst case, take everything with you to the new apartment. Family and friends should also be informed in good time about the relocation plans if their help is needed. A move always means that many items, some of which are heavy, have to be moved. In a short time, if there is not enough manpower, the entire move can be delayed and you will reach your physical and mental limits. This does not have to be the case if helping hands are informed in good time. Note that a moving company with sufficient time buffer should also be requested. This way you are guaranteed to get the support you need.
Pack before moving
It’s a really bad idea if you don’t start packing boxes and filling boxes until the day of your move. It is better to get things ready for transport days before the upcoming move that are no longer used anyway. Decorations, the contents of drawers and books, for example, can be packed in advance without needing them until you move into the new apartment. Perhaps the first boxes can already be stowed in the trunk or on the back seat of the car. Every kilogram that no longer has to be carried when moving is a real blessing.
Don’t forget children and pets
Of course you will not forget your children and pets in the old apartment. Much more is meant by the fact that care for children and pets is guaranteed during the move. Although children can also lend a hand, small children and pets in particular are a time factor when moving that should not be forgotten. It’s best to have friends or family watch over loved ones so you can focus on the move. Animal and babysitters are also an interim solution so that you can clearly focus on the move.
Renovation work when moving out
Rented premises in particular must be returned to their original condition and handed over in a clean swept condition before leaving. Of course, painting the walls, filling holes and all other work that still needs to be done takes time. You should not underestimate this, especially if you are already mentally in the new apartment. Depending on what needs to be done, this can also be done before the move. For example, drilling holes can easily be filled days before the actual move.
Appropriate planning must be carried out to ensure that a move does not end in chaos. The earlier a move is planned, the better the chances that manpower, storage space and the like can be organized.
