Posted on June 09, 2020 by Jeff Tumbarello in Uncategorized

Moving is rarely fun! Your next move should be better than the last one! The tendency to procrastinate is unfortunately an attribute that most humans share. We procrastinate all sorts of decisions and planning. In some cases, it is ok to procrastinate. One thing that you should not be procrastinating is planning your next move. Here is why.

Your Next Move: Reduce Your Stress

No matter how you look at it, moving is stressful. Even if you are excited for the move, it is still going to be stressful. There is so much to do, and so many unknowns. But, according to West Coast Self-Storage, if you plan ahead, you can greatly reduce the amount of stress that you feel. Stress can get overwhelming when you have too much to do and not enough time.

If you plan your move in advance, then you will be able to estimate the time it is going to take to get each task done and plan your schedule accordingly. You will be able to get each thing done at the right time and in the right order. You will be able to proceed with confidence that you aren’t forgetting anything. And if you do happen to forget something, you’ll be able to adjust much more easily.

Prevent Damage

A lot of the things that you own are fragile. According to On the Move, many items in your kitchen such as dishes and glasses are particularly susceptible to damage during a move. If you procrastinate packing day, there is a good chance that you won’t package things properly. This increases the likelihood that they will be broken when you unpack.

Planning ahead will help you have the time to properly package fragile items. In order to be prepared, you should plan to have the appropriate padding materials for your fragile items. You can use blankets and crumpled paper. You can also use foam blocks, Styrofoam peanuts, and bubble wrap.

Your Next Move: Mental Preparation

According to Psychology Today, moving can be mentally and emotionally difficult, especially for young children. For a child, their home is an important part of their stability. Uprooting your family and moving can shake this foundational element of their lives. By planning your move in advance, you can have more time to help your kids become used to the idea of saying goodbye to their old home and friends. You can help them understand why your family is moving and the benefits that await in your new home.

By planning ahead, you are going to be making your life so much easier. It doesn’t take that much time to plan a move. In fact, all you really need is a productive half hour. In that time, you can create a to-do list and make assignments. After that, you just have to execute and you’re good to go!
