When you move, you make lists of items that you want to
organize. Still, the stress of moving can make you forget about many items
which can be highly important. In this article, we are going to discuss about
the items that you may forget organizing while moving. You should double-check
the lists to make sure that you have taken care of those items.
Items that are commonly forgotten during a move
- Different kitchen items which may include dishwasher dishes, fridge magnets, leftover foods, and items in the kitchen cabinets are usually forgotten during a move. Therefore, you need to check all the spaces in the kitchen.
- Valuable items that are usually hidden in the secret places
- Clothes at dry cleaning service
- Different items related to garage
- Items placed in the attic, basement, crawl space and/or storage
- Different toiletries such as plungers
- Clothes hung behind the doors
- Important documents
Organizing the move
The first thing that you are going to ensure is that you are
organizing your move. A few things that you need to do in order to organize
your move are worth mentioning here.
Plan your packing by rooms
You should pack your items by rooms. It means that mixing
the boxes and items of different rooms is going to be a bad idea. The labeling
on the boxes should tell about the items and the rooms they belong to. The
major benefit of this organizing activity is that you will be able to unpack
your items with convenience. During this process, you can also separate the
items which you are not planning to move to the new home. You can sell those
items, donate them or throw away. Moreover, you will have to mark the boxes
‘fragile’ that would contain breakable or other fragile items.
Fulfill the commitments
Before moving to the new home, you will need to tie the
loose ends. For instance, you will need to return library books, cancel your
gym, and terminate other memberships if you are moving pretty far away from
your current location. You can make a list of those appointments and schedule
the fulfillment on daily basis.
Follow the checklist
You need to create the checklist well before the moving day
when you are not having any kind of moving stress. This checklist is going to
help you during the time when you are under stress. As the moving day comes
closer, you get stressed due to obvious reasons. You need to follow that
checklist to make sure that you are not missing anything. Remember, the
checklist needs to include everything.
Pay attention to your diet
No matter how stressful the moving day can be, you have to
eat normally. The reason we say this is that moving stress can make you paying
no attention to having necessary food intake.
