What can be more challenging than moving itself? When you have less than four weeks on that! Breath, the mission is possible!
- Don’t panic, pack.
Just a thought of how many things you are about to finish in few weeks may make you stunned. It’s a very probable thing to happen and for a good reason, as moving quickly doesn’t leave you enough time to plan and prepare. That’s why get to work immediately, it will also distract you from overwhelming thoughts.
- Hire a moving company.
The sooner, the better, it will allow getting better price quotes. But make sure to dedicate enough time to pick a reliable company with good reviews and high rankings. It’s easy to miss something in a hurry, so don’t forget to check prices. The professional team of movers and packers doesn’t have to be pricy!
- Clean up and sort.
The best thing to do when you are moving is to get rid of things you don’t need that much. Especially when it’s a last-minute move, the decisions have to be made quickly! You will see how many things occupy space for nothing, and cleaning it up will save you time to pack and budget for transferring. To make it easy, you can sort and pack each room one by one. Try to make piles for keeping and tossing in every room, and then get to packing.
- Find help.
Every person has a moving experience, and everyone knows how much pressure there is, especially in your case. It’s absolutely ok to call to help your friends or family! The essential thing to do is to know exactly what kind of help you need from them and communicate it very clearly. You don’t want to double your work by consulting your friends what to do now. So give them one task, like throwing stuff you don’t keep or “to donate” pile. This way you won’t need to spend extra time looking for a fund to donate and driving there. Use this time on packing, when it’s done, half of the moving is over!
