As we all know, moving can be stressful. They say that moving, divorce and death are the 3 most stressful things a person goes through. When you move, you have so much to think about that many things can be forgotten. That’s why we suggest making a schedule that goes with a to-do list/checklist. Below are some things that you need to make sure you have on your moving list.

Turn off, or switch services – Sometimes when we leave this to the last minute (depending on the service) we are charged extra. We might have to pay for a couple of extra days of utilities, internet, etc. You might also forget and get into your new place and realize that you forgot to forward your mail, or get a new phone number (for our out-of-state relocates that still have land lines). Make sure you call and set up your cancellation or forward days, a couple of weeks before you move. Then, it’s off your list and out of your mind!

Get Boxes – We have found, that sometimes when people are moving, they leave packing to the last minute. This means its’ done quickly and sloppy. If you get boxes early, you can pack a box here and there as you are doing chores, cleaning, before you go to bed, etc. If you didn’t have boxes, you couldn’t do a little packing here and there. Be sure to get them early. They’re easy to store and helps make the week before moving much easier! (And less to do that week, so you can focus on staying calm and relaxed to relieve any stress you might be experiencing.) If you’re moving, and live in Northern CO, we have boxes so please contact us if you need some.

Know where you’re going – If you’re moving to a new state, getting some maps or learning the area is a good idea. Sometimes getting lost is the easiest way to getting to know a new area, but you don’t want to get lost on your way to your new job or the babysitter’s. Looking into this before you go where you’re moving to is a good idea because once you get there, you gotta get where you need to go…on time.
