7 Best Moving Tips

to stay sane ways during your move Moving is hard. Even after the last box has been taped up and tossed (gently) into the moving truck, you still have an entire life-coworkers, friends, your favorite local coffee shop-that can't be packed up and taken with you. And things only get harder once you finally make it to your new destination. There's unpacking, getting acquainted with your new neighbors and setting up utilities among a thousand other errands. To make your transition easier, here are some tips to minimize the stress of moving: 1 Schedule your services early MAY Some utilities can take days to set up. The sooner you start the process of getting water, waste removal, electricity, Internet and TV services set up, the less likely 14 you'll be hosting a housewarming party in the dark. 2 Change your address online Try not to spam your old home's new occupants with unpaid medical bills. To make sure all your mail gets carried to your new address, you can fill out a Change of Address form online at USPS.com. 3. Get free boxes! oranges Paying for boxes is a rookie mistake.

Sell or give away what you don't use Moving isn't easy, but when you pack along your wardrobe from high school, it's nearly impossible.

Take a digital inventory Apps can help get you and your stuff organized. Use these helpful tools to take an inventory of your belongings and categorize items by room, category, or tags. This is especially helpful if you're using a professional moving company, which increases the likelihood of your belongings getting lost or stolen. 7 Scout out your new neighborhood online Thanks to apps like Foursquare and Twitter, and sites like meetup.com, you can get to know your new neighborhood before you move. Find popular hotspots, track upcoming events, and see what people are saying about your new area before you even get there.
