Moving day can be a stressful and hectic experience, but there are several hacks that can make the process smoother and more efficient. Here are a few tips to help you make the most of your moving day.
1. Purge your closets before you move and don't pack anything that you haven't needed, worn, or used in a year.
2. Pack a cooler so you have easy-to-grab snacks and water as needed. And make sure that cooler doesn't end up in the moving truck instead of with you.
3. Don't empty dresser drawers. Leave items there, and wrap the drawer in plastic wrap. Likewise, leave clothes on hangers and store them in a garbage bag or wardrobe box.
4. Put a fitted sheet on both sides of your mattress before loading it into the moving truck to keep it clean.
5. Fill large kitchen pots and other containers with small kitchen gadgets or spices to save space and cut down on
boxes.
6. Put stemware and glasses inside of clean socks for free padding.
7. Snap a pic of the back of your TV to help you remember where all those wires go.
8. Get little ones and pets out from underfoot. If making a crosstown move, schedule a playdate or a sleepover so you can focus on the move and have time to get somewhat settled before they arrive home.
