Self Moving is a big process and if you are not well planned in advance then it would take much longer than you expected. Solid preparation is the key for an efficient move. The day when you decide to move, set up a plan on how you are going to go about it right from the start. Research about the mover you are going to hire if at all. Start organizing your things and also start making a list of things. When a person moves a lot of things will be discarded including electrical appliances and household stuff. Since you already know what you will not be carrying along with you start donating those things at least a month before so that you will be left with lesser headaches when you actually have to move.

Start planning before a month: Hire the movers and packer at least a month in advance as this also helps you to prepare mentally for the move. Sell or donate all the unnecessary objects and the ones that you plan to dispose off. Get all the necessary paperwork done now so that you don’t have to run around in the last minute. Make sure all your documents have been updated.

Self Moving is like a count down and treats it like that so you will plan accordingly. Two weeks before the moving start organizing your personal things like packing most of the clothes and finishing with the dry cleaning. Finish all your repair works now so that everything will be available when they have to be packed on time.  Keep a few clothes out, few useful items out and then clean everything else and put them away.

Just 2 to 5 days before the Self Moving start cleaning your kitchen like defrosting the freezer and plan for the food while moving. All last minute details should start getting covered now and not on the day of moving. The day of moving should be just kept aside for loading and unloading your stuff. Everything else should be done before that.

There are two options to pack while Self Moving  and one is to pack room by room or the other is to pack by grouping like items together. Like for example all the kitchen utensils, cutlery and crockery together, your clothes and groceries together and so on. There are different ways to pack so choose the one that is the easiest for you. Also the wisest thing would be to pack your self and then hire a mover to move the cartons for you and then move them back in your new place. Movers do pack your things for you but since they do not know what your priorities are it is most likely to get difficult for you once you unload.  The big appliances and things you cannot handle still can be done by the mover but it is always wise to pack your personal belongings yourself. Prepare well in advance and never leave things like moving to the last minute.
