Renters are faced with many problems while moving their entire household in one day. The old lease ends and the new one begins on the same day. Even homeowners may need to complete the move for time or expense purposes in one single day. This doesn’t allow any room for error, so your move has to be precisely planned.
Just because you have to move all your belongings in one day does not mean that you can’t prepare for that one day move beforehand. In fact, this is a necessity.
Preplanning for your move can start as soon as you know when your move will be scheduled. The first thing you need to do is take stock of what you will be moving. Consider that you don’t have to move everything. Get rid of all of the items and furniture that you never use. Be ruthless. If you haven’t used something in the last year, it’s likely that you’ll never use it, so toss it. You’ll be happy you did it on the day of your move.
Have a yard sale of items that have some worth. Plan to have it well in advance of your move. Not only will you have less to move but you’ll have some cash to pay for the move and buy moving supplies and moving boxes. Anything that doesn’t sell should go to a charity, not back in your drawers and closets.
