If you’re feeling a little time-starved, you’re not alone. Thousands of people simply don’t have enough hours in the day to arrange a move.
If that sounds like you, then you’re in luck. This post takes a look at some of the methods you can use to arrange a house move when you’re under extreme time pressure. Here’s everything we recommend:
Create A Timeline
Even if you are under extreme time pressure, you may still have spare hours in the day you can dedicate to packing and decluttering your home. To figure out where these are, create a timeline. Write down what you’ll do at every point in the schedule over the coming few weeks and when you will be free to do it. Even if you can only grab a few minutes here and there, it will all soon add up and you’ll be surprised by the progress you can make over a couple of months.
Throw Things Out You Don’t Need As You Pack
You can also throw things out that you don’t need as you pack. Getting rid of stuff before you move helps to streamline everything.
Get Help
You can also get help with the move and leave the majority of the work to professionals. I once hired movers near me and got them to do all the packing and decluttering for me. This approach means you can stick to your regular schedule and rely on experts to do the legwork for you. It’s a handy approach, and it really works when you get it right.
You can also get partial packing services if you are on a budget. With these, movers unpack some of your larger items and place them in rooms, leaving the smaller things to you.
Again, this approach saves you time and lets you arrange your home how you want.
Rent Storage
You can also make your move more convenient by renting storage options. These are helpful for anyone who isn’t 100 percent sure of their moving date or can’t get into their new home immediately.
It is also a good idea if you simply don’t have time to move everything at once. You can move possessions bit by bit over several weeks when you have time, and then place them in your new home without having to rush or get everything done quickly.
Keep A List Of Tasks Completed
You can also try keeping a list of completed tasks showing you what you’ve done so far, and what still needs doing. This documentation helps you keep track of the list of tasks you need to complete, even if things are busy at work. When you know what you need to do next, you can find synergies with the rest of your life to make it more straightforward.
Use Technology
Finally, you can try using technology to stay organized and keep track of everything. These days, you can get apps specifically designed to help you organize your move and make the most of it.
