Many times, a move is a stressful experience for the family involved. Deciding how to even plan for a move is often one of the biggest challenges a homeowner faces. If you are looking at moving out of state from Thousand Oaks, CA here are some things that can help save your sanity and make the process a little less stressful for you and your family.
Take it Bit by Bit
But if you can break the process of packing down into smaller bits, it will not be as overwhelming and will be much more manageable. Do little things throughout the day all day long to help the process along. Take 5 minutes every time you are in the kitchen to pack up a few dishes. In your room or the kids room, make it a habit of sorting through things for a few minutes every day. Do not walk into a room without bringing out something to set in the packing piles.
Tidy-Up Before Bed
Spend some time each night as part of your bedtime routine cleaning and sorting and organizing for the move. You do not have to spend a lot of time- just a few minute each night. When very member of the family does this each night it can really add up and ending the day with the felling that you made progress on the packing will help you relax more and get a better night’s sleep!
Create Work Stations
As you gather things together to pack and as you begin the actual process of packing up your belongings, keep things organized and grouped together. Have boxes set in every room so items can be pack and placed in the boxes right away rather than just piled on the floor to add even more clutter and work down the line. This can be very helpful for children as it shows them where things go and what they can do to help put things away and stay organized.
