Moving can be a challenging process because there are many possessions that you will need to account for. A moving company can make the process easier because they will do much of the work for you, but you can also organize quite a bit on your own.

Downsize as Much as Possible

Downsizing is one of the best ways to make organizing easier. By downsizing, you will not have as much to move and your move will be much easier. You can downsize by selling your belongings or by donating them.

Purchase a Binder

Have a binder that contains all of your contracts and receipts. The binder allows you to place everything involved in your move in a single place so you can easily access it. For example, you will need to keep all phone numbers relevant to your move in the binder—such as numbers you will need to contact to turn off your utilities.

If you will be donating any furniture or equipment, you'll want to keep lists of all of your donations. You must keep track of all your moving receipts and checklists. If you are working with a moving company, you will also need to keep all of the paperwork.

Plan Ahead

Make sure to plan out your move ahead of time. For example, you will want to pack your non-essentials before you pack your essentials so you can have access to them right up until you move. Usually, kitchens and bathrooms are the rooms that are packed up last.

Use a List

Create a list of all of your belongings and where they are stored. Create labels and place them on your boxes so you can find your possessions much more easily. You may even want to use color-coordinated boxes so that you can more easily find your belongings.

Hire a Moving Company

Working with a moving company is one of the best ways to remain organized. There is less you will have to keep track of. You may pack your boxes yourself after the moving company has supplied you with them. They might also be able to give you advice on how to organize your move.

The moving company transports your boxes and places them in storage. Then, when you are ready, the boxes can be delivered to your new location. In some cases, you may be able to come and retrieve your belongings when you need them.
