Moving to a new place in Los Angeles is a difficult experience, but it doesn’t have to be an overwhelming one. With the right approach, you can make the move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
Be it a move across the city or just a new neighborhood, using storage and moving Los Angeles services may be the answer to your problem.
Start Early and Plan
The earlier you start, the less stressful the whole process can be. To get started, plan out the things that need to be done. Try to break down the To-Do’s wherever you can. Allocate some days to work on decluttering different areas of your house.
Use the Three-Box Method
For quick and systematic decluttering, use the infamous 3-box method. Name each of your empty boxes as to what things will go in each box: Keep them, Throw them, and Sell or Donate.
This method sounds very simple, yet it is one way to keep away the back-and-forth thought and of course the likely regretful decision in the end.
Digitize Documents
Right before you move, you may scan the copies of bills, receipts, and owner’s manual and keep them in a safe digital format. This way, you will save some space and you can always look up for necessary documents when needed.
Use Quality Packing Supplies
Invest in good packing materials. High-quality boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, etc., may seem unnecessary expenses. But it all will be worth it in making the entire moving less stressful.
Proper packing of fragile items and can save you time looking for things during or after moving.
Keep Essentials Accessible
Pack an essential box that you will need immediately upon arriving at your new place. Place all the things you will most need in the first days in a box, with toiletries, a change of clothes, important documents, first aid, and kitchen utensils.
Maximize Your Space with Storage Solutions
Storage can be a lifesaver. A good service like PODS offers a very convenient portable storage container that can be delivered right at your door. This way, you have a secure place to keep your items that are either not being used or stuff you’re not ready to let go of.
Reward Yourself
Lastly, reward yourself for finishing your task. You’ve worked hard – now you deserve to chill because moving is hard. Treat yourself to some good food, or have fun exploring Los Angeles – it’s the best way to just relax. After all, you finished packing!
