MAKE A LIST
​
To make your move as smooth as possible, start by creating a detailed moving checklist. This will help you stay organized and keep track of all the tasks involved.
Here are a few things to include in your checklist:
-
Declutter your home—decide what to keep, donate, or sell.
-
Confirm your moving date and book VIP Moving.
-
Start packing items by category (kitchen, living room, fragile items, etc.).
-
Notify utility companies to transfer or shut off services.
A well-planned checklist will save you time and stress, helping you stay ahead of the game on moving day!
SAY GOODBYE TO UNUSED STUFF
One of the best ways to simplify your move is by decluttering before you start packing. The less you have to move, the easier and quicker the process will be! Here’s how to tackle it:
​
-
Sort your belongings: Go through each room and decide what you really need. Donate, sell, or throw away items you no longer use or need.
-
Organize by category: Group similar items together so it’s easier to assess what to keep.
-
Be ruthless: If you haven't used something in the past year, it might be time to let it go.
Decluttering not only lightens your load but can also save you money on moving costs. Plus, it’s a great opportunity to start fresh in your new home!
