Many people find moving to be a stressful experience, but with the right plan in place, your next move doesn't have to be .

Way #1: Give Yourself Time to Go Through Your Home

If you don't regularly go through your home, give yourself a month to slowly complete this task. Every evening, take the time to go through one space in your home, be it a dresser, your closet, or an entire room.

As you go through each space, ask yourself what you really use in that space. Donate or throw away items that you don't use, don't value, or just don't want in your new home. Reducing clutter makes it much easier to pack and unpack your new home. Do this work upfront so you are not left going through items as you unpack.

Way #2: Hire a Moving Service to Handle the Weight

Don't feel like you have to do everything on your own. You can hire a moving service to help you pack everything, or just to prepare your furniture and other large, fragile items, such as mirrors and paintings, for the move.

A moving service can also handle the actual task of moving, taking everything from your home into the moving truck, driving it to your new home, and unloading it. You can even have them unpack everything as well.

Way #3: Keep Everything Organized

Try to keep your home organized. If you have professionals pack up your home, they are going to box up everything in a single space and try to keep it together. They are not going to clean up your home for you, so make sure everything is in the right place to begin with.

If you decide to pack up your home, try to keep items from one room or similar items together. Be sure to put labels on all the boxes so you can more easily decide what to unpack.

Way #4: Research Your New Home

Take some time to research the new neighborhood you will be moving into. Find out where the nearest grocery store, dollar store, gas station, and pizza place are. Learning where the places you will visit most are will help you feel confident to go on a quick run to the store as you unpack.

Way #5: Unpack Right Away

When you get to your new home, don't put off unpacking. Having boxes around you for months can be really stressful. Unpack as soon as you move in. Give yourself a week to unpack and get settled in. You can always rearrange things at a later date, just get them unpacked quickly so you can settle in.

Your next move doesn't have to be stressful. Give yourself time to go through your home and keep things organized. Use a moving service to help with packing and moving your home. Research your new home and get settled in as quickly as possible. These are just a few things you can do to reduce the stress of moving.
