Sorting your belongings

It is recommended that you sort all of your belongings before packing for the move. This is in order to get rid of anything that is no longer used.

Sorting has two main advantage. The first is that it will reduce your workload during the move. Every extra thing that needs to be packed, carried, loaded, unloaded and unpacked will cost you time and energy on your moving day.
Another advantage is that you will be able to give the things that you are getting rid of to people who will actually use them. It's a win-win situation where you reduce your workload and they get free stuff.

In order to do this, there are several channels you can go through. The first is to ask around your friends and family to see if anyone wants it, and the second is to advertise it on social media. Alternatively, you can also donate the items to a charity that collects second hand belongings.

Arrange your boxes

Once you have arranged everything you need, leaving only the items you want to keep, you can start packing.

It is recommended to use high-quality, durable boxes that can be closed and opened easily. Each box should be labelled with its contents in order to avoid confusion when unpacking.

It is also important to indicate the room that each box is intended for and ask the removalists to place the box in the designated room. This will save you a lot of time in arranging the boxes in the new home.

It is recommended that you also take any particularly valuable or fragile things with you in the car and not take unnecessary risks.

Enjoy your move

At the end of the day, with a little effort and preparation in advance, you can ensure the success of your move, and possibly even enjoy it. You should put music on and invite friends and family to help with the move. This will contribute to the mood and maintain morale.
