Getting Organized and Staying Organized During a Move



If you are planning on moving, it can be a daunting task. There is a lot to think about, many decisions to be made and many different parts that need to be corralled into one cohesive whole. Our moving company serving Ramsey County has helped many families like yours move, and we have some suggestions for you on what to do to get and stay organized during a move.

Get a Notebook
Go to the store and buy a notebook with lined paper. Add in some pouches for receipts and a business card holder. Use the notebook for to do lists and to keep track of information from your moving company, like written estimates and receipts. If you have any upcoming moving-related appointments, write them down in your notebook so you can keep track of them. This is also a great way to keep track of items you will need for your new home.

Get Packing
We cannot stress this enough – start packing as soon as you decide to move. Make sure you label each box with what’s in it and where it should eventually end up in your new home. This will help your moving company keep track of your boxes and will help ensure your boxes end up where you want them. We recommend that you pack your essential items last. Anything you need up till the day your moving company arrives should be set aside and packed last. This includes toiletries, a change or two of clothing and other related items.

Get Downsizing
While you are packing up, go through the items you don’t want. Donate those items, give them to friends or throw them away. Remember: the less stuff you have to move, the better! There will be less to sort through at your final destination.
