Moving is one of those things that makes you stressed out just thinking about it. Whether it\u2019s the anxiety around sorting through all your belongings, moving expenses or worrying about lifting heavy pieces of furniture, a lot of hard work goes into moving. While the process will never be exactly easy, there are tips and tricks to help make the whole thing more manageable than it could be otherwise. Below are a few pieces of advice to help smooth your moving process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Set a Budget Ahead of Time<\/span><\/h2>\n

Moving<\/span><\/a> can get expensive quickly! Moving boxes, packing tape, bubble wrap, truck rentals, movers, the list of costs can be endless. Planning out a budget ahead of time will help avoid sticker shock when the time comes to move. It will also help you plan to save the necessary money and determine your limit so you can cut back costs in certain places.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Rent a Portable Storage Unit\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are plenty of ways to save money during your big move. One great solution is to rent a portable storage unit to help you eliminate the need to hire movers and rent a truck. Since UNITS rents portable storage by the month, you do not have to move all of your belongings in one day. You can take your time and move pieces little by little to pace yourself and not hurt yourself. Once you have finished packing up your things, UNITS will drop off your storage unit conveniently in front of your new place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Declutter Before Packing\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When you move into your new place, you will want to start with a clean slate, not lots of clutter. While moving itself is complex, the exciting part comes when you get to <\/span>unpack<\/span><\/a> and decorate your new home. Don\u2019t weigh yourself down by adding the burden of organizing in this stage of the process. By <\/span>decluttering before you move<\/span><\/a>, you will make your unpacking process more enjoyable. You will also reduce the number of items you need to move. Why waste precious moving box space and energy moving things you are just going to get rid of?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Make Donation Pick-Up Arrangements<\/span><\/h2>\n

Once you declutter, you will likely identify items that you no longer want to keep. Whether it\u2019s large items of furniture or boxes of clothes, save yourself an additional trip by arranging for a donation center to come to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Leave Your Clothes on the Hanger<\/span><\/h2>\n

There is no need to take all of your clothes off of their hangers, fold them, store them in boxes and move them to hang them up again in your new place. Plus, have you ever tried packing hangers in a box? No easy task! An easier way to move your hanging clothes is to keep them on the hangers. You can make a hole in a clean trash bag and place the bag around multiple hangers to protect your clothes. When you\u2019re ready to unpack them, rip off the bag, and they will be prepared to go!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
