- Declutter your home before moving is one of the most important things you can do to simplify
your move. It will not only save you time and effort when packing, but it will also help you save
money on moving expenses. The more items you have to move, the more it will cost you. - Â Create a list of all the items you plan to take with you to your new home. This will help you
keep track of your belongings and make sure everything arrives at your new home. It’s important
to be as detailed as possible when creating your inventory list, including the size and quantity of
each item. Create your inventory list in a notebook or use an online tool. One great online tool is
Sortly, which allows you to take photos of each item and create a digital inventory that you can
access from your phone or computer. Having an inventory checklist can also help you determine
which items you need to pack and which ones you can sell, donate, or toss. - Label your boxes with clear and descriptive names of the contents. This will help you and
your movers to identify which room they belong in and which boxes should be handled with
extra care. You can use color-coded labels or simply write on the boxes with a marker. - Â Hire Professionals If you’re not up for the task of packing and moving everything on your
own, consider hiring professional movers. They have the experience and tools necessary to make
your move smooth and efficient. When choosing a moving company, make sure to do your
research and read reviews from previous customers.
