There is not a better feeling than finally having all of your things unpacked after moving! After hours and hours of packing, you do hours and hours of unpacking and organizing getting things just how you want....its an exhausting procedure! Here are a few tips that I would recommend to make it easier on yourself!
1. Plan ahead- If you know what day your moving, go through stuff and donate things you don't want to bring with you instead of packing crap that you aren't even keeping!
2. Pack smart- If it takes you a few hours to pack up your things in boxes, spend the five extra minutes to organize your things in boxes for particular rooms. Like keep your bathroom stuff in the bathroom box so your not going back and forth between rooms. (I did this and it drove me crazy!!)
3. Get your address changed- Sign up with Canada Post to have your mail forwarded to your new address close to your moving date so mail doesn't get sent to your old place, this will give you a break and the new people in your old place!
4. Room-mates- If your moving out and lived with room mates, go through everything way before your move date so you can separate your things from theirs. Especially pay attention to things that are in the pantry and soap kinda stuff, if you paid half take half with you!
5. Do it cheap- When you know your moving out, look into different ways for your move. If your only moving a short distance plan out how you will move everything (do you need a truck?) if your moving a distance away, look into different trailer options or truck rentals and moving companies to find the cheapest way possible! Trust me, its worth the extra homework!
Those are my moving tips from my experiences, just don't let the stress get to you! Its a journey many of us have to take in our lives and try to make the best out of it!!!
