Getting Organized - The Move Itself: Moving Day

We just talked about moving day a bit - all the emotions, seeing your life go into boxes. It's part of the reality but even though you might know this is coming, the reality is often a shock.

Being organized on moving day will help you tremendously. Kathi Burns has been helping us all get organized in preparation for the big moving day. Here's she helps us COPE with moving day itself.


If you missed part 1 of this section  you can read it here: Organizing for Your Move
Here's Part 2 - Packing to Move

Here are the posts in the first part of the series on Preparing Your House for Sale:

****************************************

Moving Day

  1. Have prepared food and beverages on hand
  • Keep nourished and hydrated throughout your move
  • Buy snack packs for in-between meals 
  1. Consider moving your computer or flat screen in the backseat of your personal vehicle to avoid potential damage
  • Back up all files onto a separate disc or hard drive and pack your other valuables
  • Protect the monitor by facing it backwards and positioning it against the back seat
3. Pack valuable papers separately and consider moving them in your personal vehicle

4.  Pack carry-ons with toiletries and two days of clothing for each family member


  • Take these with you so you don’t have to unpack to find your pajamas and necessities upon arrival 

5. If you move yourself, load “First Out” Boxes into the truck last

  • Upon arrival, these will be positioned to unload first - If you are too tired, the rest can wait until the following day
