1. Start early.

Waiting until the last minute is one of the best ways to ramp up your stress levels. Presumably, you know when moving day is – plan accordingly! Leave yourself plenty of time to pack and get yourself situated. Make sure you leave extra time, too, just in case unanticipated issues come up.

2. Break down your to-do list.

Although your moving or packing checklists might be long, that’s no reason to despair! They may seem overwhelming, but if you tackle them one item at a time, then you’ll be surprised how quickly you check them off. If you started early, you can even complete one or two items a day and still be more than ready for moving day.

3. Stay organized.

Uncertainty is a classic contributor to stress. By labeling all your moving boxes and staying on top of your checklists, you’ll not only streamline your move, but also have a clear idea of how much further you have to go. You’ll be secure in the knowledge that you’re still on track.

4. Don’t forget to take care of yourself.

While it’s easy to get lost in all the minutiae of moving, you still attend to your own needs! Make sure you get enough sleep and take a break to enjoy a hobby or catch up with friends every now and then. This will ensure that you don’t get burnt out.
