7 Tips For Moving

7 Tips For Moving

It’s hard to get used to moving, isn’t it? The Simple Dollar has a few really great tips for next time you have to move house/apartment/shack. Things I’ll definitely keep in mind myself.

Invite family and friends over a couple of days after you move. We actually found that an invasion of family and friends after the move helped us a ton. They moved furniture into appropriate places, cleared out tons of empty boxes, put stuff in appropriate rooms, assembled a desk, and so on. We went from feeling like there was a ton left to do to feeling moved in in just a few hours.

My 8th Tip: If you’re going to be waiting on something like a wardrobe, be resourceful. Organize your clothing when you pack them in boxes, turn them on their sides, stacked on top of one another after your move, and then use them as a shelf until you get some real furniture.

Have your own suggestions?

    For the most part, I read lifehack via RSS, so I don’t have to navigate your interface. The few times that I have wanted to see the article on the actual site, I have had a hard time finding the referencing article’s link - much like this entry. I even sent this to other people, asking them if they could see it, to which they replied that they couldn’t. I think that seperating your content from your ads by another 10px would really help this. Or changing the colors of the ad links. Just a usability suggestion that would make your reader’s lives easier :}

    Making use of free boxes from late night WalMart runs really saved me a bunch of dough each time I’ve moved.

    moving is such a pain in the a**, I moved a year ago and I still have lots of boxes standing in all corners. So the advice is useful for my next time, thanks.
