Things to Know When You Need to Move Fast

Published: February 01, 2022

Moving can be a fun but stressful journey, especially when you have to do it in a short amount of time. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t worry too much, there are things that can help you make the process seamless.

Here are five things UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Fort Lauderdale wants you to know about moving fast!

Follow a List

Staying on top of your task is a must when you’re trying to move in a short period of time. But it’s well-known that moving can become chaotic fast – that’s where a checklist comes in handy. Make a list that shows everything you need to do. Include everything on the list from critical to minor importance, such as packing all the way to turning the lights out before you leave.

Reduce the Load

If you’ve ever needed to do a clutter clear out, now is the time. To help cut down on packing time, don’t take things with you that you no longer need. Instead, give them away to friends and family if they are still usable. Unfortunately, due to the time crunch, listing things for sale is rarely an option. 

Ask for Help

Never be afraid to ask for help when you’re moving, especially if you have a limited amount of time to do it. If you’re friends and family aren’t available, use moving services. At UNITS® Moving and Portable Storage of Fort Lauderdale, we can assist you in your quick move with one of our portable moving containers. We handle the container delivery and transport, so it’s one less thing to worry about. 

Prioritization is Key

This tip is simple and to the point. Because you may need to leave some things behind, prioritize what you pack first. Start by focusing on the essentials. What do you need most? Pack the basics first. 

Minimal Breaks

And last but not least, keep your breaks to a minimum. In a regular moving situation, it’s best to take things slow and rest often, but that can do more harm than good when you’re trying to move fast. Don’t stress yourself out, but don’t break often.
