6 Ways Not to Lose Your Mind While Moving to Stapleton, Denver

We all know the feeling–going through closets filled with random items from decades ago; deciding what stays, and what goes; packing up your entire life. Moving to Stapleton, Denver can be stressful, especially for procrastinators. Below are 6 ways to make moving a smoother experience!

Reserve your truck, movers, and boxes 1 – 2 months before moving. Last minute reservations for a truck and movers can be a risky proposition. You may end up paying way more, or worse, there may be none available.

Stay ahead of the game, and minimize future hassle by booking these 1 – 2 months in advance. Also, try booking everything for the middle of the month for the biggest savings!

“Unhoard” before packing. Getting rid of your old belongings will go a long way with packing, and unpacking. Go through your regular hoarding spots in the house, and decide what to toss, donate, or giveaway. Maybe you can make some extra bucks before the move, or just decrease stress with less to pack.

Ready your essentials kit. This is for items you want to have readily available or special items you do not want to lose. Pack a first aid kit, cleaning supplies, box cutter, toilet paper, etc. You’ll also want to pack valuables, such as important paperwork, jewelry, laptops, and anything else with value that can be easily misplaced.

Pack with the end in mind. Nothing is worse than being unorganized on the day of your big move. Make sure your boxes are labeled, and organized to make things easier for yourself.

Get your bed ready first. First thing’s first–make sure your bed is put together. After a long day a moving you’ll be thankful you did this first! The kitchen typically has the most items, so this is usually what people attack next. In the kitchen, there are also essential items you’ll need throughout the day. After that, you can then move onto less urgent areas of your new home.
