Stay Focused During Your Move – 5 Ways for South Africans
Moving to a new house can be exciting and stressful, all at the same time. You need to juggle between packing, sorting, and other chores, while also preparing for the logistics of arriving in your new home. It’s important to stay focused throughout your move and not get sidetracked. Here are 5 ways you can stay focused during your move as a South African.
1. Make a List of To-Dos & Prioritise Your Tasks
Moving house is a time consuming effort and having a plan to follow can help keep you focussed. It’s important to make a list of things that need to be done, such as packing, cleaning, managing documents, and clean-up, etc. List all the tasks in order of priority, beginning with the most important ones. This can help keep you from forgetting essential tasks. Noting them down can also prevent you from being overwhelmed, since you’ll already have a plan in place.
2. Pack Early & Categorise Your Belongings
The day of the move is always a busy day, with plenty to do, and clear instructions on what goes where. To make it easier for your movers and yourself, it’s best to start packing early. It’s important to categorise your belongings while packing, this could include colour coding or arranging items per room. Labelling your boxes with the names of each room and giving them a priority number e.g. ‘top priority’ or ‘fragile’ can give you an easier time when unpacking. By doing this early on, you can avoid the last minute rush.
3. Get Help from Professionals
Professional movers are trained to do their job well and can help you stay focused. Such help can include disassembling large furniture and packing fragile items, so you don’t have to do them on your own. At QikTruck, we understand the often-stressful task of moving house and that’s why our professional movers and reliable goods transportation service is available to assist you. We can help with packing, goods loading and unloading, making sure that everything’s carried out efficiently and safely.
4. Clean While You Pack
Cleaning while you pack may sound like too much, but just remember to be organised while you do both tasks. Start with appliances and other noticeable areas, then work your way down and pack whatever items have been cleared. That way, you’ll have an easier time when you begin cleaning up on the other end.
5. Take Time for Yourself
Stress is inevitable when moving and that’s why it’s important to take some ‘me-time’, every now and then, during your move. Set aside some time each day to read a book, or do a hobby you love, while ‘me-time’ can also mean visiting a friend or taking a drive. Doing something you enjoy can actually help keep you focussed and ensure that the move runs smoothly and with less stress.
