Last minute moving is far from ideal, but sometimes it’s
inevitable. Regardless of the circumstances, last minute
moving is often unavoidable.
Luckily, it doesn’t have to be massively stressful. If you’re
facing a last-minute move, here’s your guide to getting
through it one step at a time.
[00:11–00:16]
Tip 1: Make a Checklist
First things first, make a checklist of the things you need to get
done before your moving date.
[00:18–00:23]
Tip 2: Start as Early as Possible
Starting immediately will make the move more manageable and
prevent you from feeling overwhelmed.
[00:25–00:30]
Tip 3: Gather Supplies
If you start to get low on certain items, make a plan to go get
more before you run out.
[00:32–00:37]
Tip 4: Go Room by Room
Keep yourself organized and on track by moving through your
house room-by-room.
[00:39–00:44]
Tip 5: Use All Available Space
Pack small items into larger ones, fill up suitcases, baskets, and
boxes, and use t-shirts and other clothing items to fill gaps in
boxes.
[00:46–00:51]
Tip 6: Use Trash Bags to Move Linens
Since they are water and dirt-resistant, trash bags make the
perfect receptacles for bulky items like towels, blankets, and
comforters.
[00:53–00:58]
Tip 7: Leave Your Clothes on Their Hangers
When you arrive at your new place, all you have to do is remove
them and hang them up again.
[01:00–01:05]
Tip 8: Use Professional Packers
Not only will packers make short work of the labor, but they’ll
also have all the equipment and supplies to get it done.
[01:07–01:12]
Tip 9: Ask for Help
Don’t try to pull off a last minute moving on your own. Instead,
call in help from your friends and family members!
[01:14–01:19]
Tip 10: Consider Storage
They provide a great solution to storing items that you can’t
take with you to your new place, but aren’t ready to get rid of.
