The complexities of long distance moving require a lot of time-consuming preparations. For people with a busy work and family schedule, cleating time for such preparations can be a daunting, often nearly impossible task.
This new Alpha Moving and Storage article takes a look at some time-saving tips that will help you prepare for your long distance move.
Time-Saving Long Distance Moving Tips- Time Management
The first tip may sound obvious, but is a key factor for the quality of your long distance moving preparations. Begin to pack, prepare and start looking for a moving company at least five to eight weeks in advance. This will allow you to prepare a daily schedule. Writing down such a schedule can be very helpful. By dividing the tasks and beginning your preparations about six weeks in advance, you will be able to dedicate no more than twenty to thirty minutes a day for the preparations.
Time-Saving Long Distance Moving Tips – Packing Lists and Tasks
Creating lists is very helpful in both saving time and money for your move. You should begin by creating a careful inventory list by going room by room and writing down a list of all the furniture you have. In each room, try to approximate the number of boxes that you will need to pack in it. Once you are finished, you can create a list of daily packing tasks. By packing just a few boxes per day, you will be able to avoid a situation in which you will need to take a few days of vacation in order to pack before your move.
Of course, full packing is another great option for saving time for your move. Professional moving companies provide full packing services, which means they will bring all the boxes and other packing materials and pack the contents of your house.
