Minimise Stress from Interstate Move

Posted 2015-12-28 by Anassawfollow
Life is full of changes, and moving from one state to another can be exciting. However, there are so many things that must be done, and failing to prepare adequately can result in a plethora of unexpected bumps along the way. Your time is precious, and it's important for you to make the transition into your new location quickly and efficiently. By following a few tips, you can make the most out of every minute during the course of your interstate move.



1. Take Care Of the Intricacies
Before you get into the process of physically moving to your new address, you can take the time to start taking care of intricacies. From changing your address with the post office to changing your car registration and more, there are many things that must be considered. When you get moved, you'll have so many things to do as you begin to settle in, so taking care of these details now will make things less stressful for you later. Other things to consider include:
- Transferring schools
- Seeking out new health care providers
- Changing your phone number to the new area code

2. Careful Labeling
Nothing is more frustrating than not being able to find the things you need once you get to the new address. Not to mention, all too often valuables are damaged because removalists are not aware that fragile materials are contained in certain boxes. All this confusion and time-consuming stress can be easily eliminated by simply making the minimal investment in labels. To instill clever time management along the way, label boxes in accordance with where they need to go in the new home. Don't forget to make a special notation for boxes that should be handled with care.


3. Consider the Necessities
It's also a good idea to pack one box full of necessities. It can take days or even weeks to get completely unpacked. During this time, it can be frustrating when you can't find your silverware for lunch or your toothbrush. This often results in the need to make unnecessary purchases.

4. Make Lists
Well in advance, you should put your time management skills to use and create a complete list of your weekly goals leading up to the move. Rather than scurrying around and making crucial packing mistakes in the days before the move, this allows you to enjoy precision and efficiency both as you pack and as you start to get settled into the new location. Some of the things you should consider as you create the list include:
- Which rooms you should pack each week
- Whether you'll be hiring help, and, if so, when you'll contact them
- How you'll be moving your vehicles

A New Phase of Your Life

Whether you are moving to start a new job, get closer to friends and family, or just to enjoy new scenery, you're ready to move on to the next phase of life. It's important that this process is one that's executed efficiently, and it just takes a little preparation in advance. By following these helpful tips, you can take a load of stress out of the situation and best ensure you're able to get started adapting to your new setting.
