Moving from one home to another may result to a mix emotion. A feeling of sadness may be felt due to the fact that you will be leaving a place which for a long time you have considered as your only home. On the other hand, a sensation of anxiety and excitement could somehow be observed due to the idea that you will be on a new place and the possibility of having new and unique experiences would be endless.
For whatever feeling such transfer would be brewing within you; and whatever reason is behind the transfer, you cannot still disregard the fact that such action entails a lot of work and labor. And in order to somehow lighten the burden of such strenuous activity, here are some of the practical tips which you may apply.
Start Early and Make a List
Packing would usually take centuries to finish, for there would be moments of nostalgia as you pack your things. You will be remembering some important events associated with some of the items, so start early. In relevance to starting early, making a list of what to pack and where to place those things would be very convenient as well. The list would also serve as your checklist once you will be starting to unpack at your new place.
Group Things
You need to learn to group or pack together important things, such as documents and other relevant stuff. It will not only make the transfer faster but most especially it would be easy for you to retrieve the documents ones needed during the travel or even during your arrival at the new place.
Picture it
Who says selfies are for pets and humans only? Simply take a selfie or photo of all your hooked electronics and other devices which has many wires and plugs on it, so that when you arrive at your new place you will have a visual guide once you will set up those gadgets or appliances again. There would be no need for you to locate and re-read the manuals.
Out of paddings
For the transfer of glasses and other fragile glass like materials, you may simply use clean socks as paddings. This would be very helpful if you are in for a bumpy ride. This would be safer compared to use newspapers or other paper materials, plus it will not leave as scratch on those breakable items.
Color
Labeling boxes is often times practiced by most people when they transfer, but just in case you are in a hurry, you may simply buy colored boxes or use color coding in packing your things. This will not only save you some time, but it will also bring out the artist in you.
Transferring somewhere may perhaps be a sad experience or a joyous experience. However, you should remember that a plant once fully grown is transferred from a pot to an open ground. Just consider the transfer a chance for you to grow and learn more things. The world is wide, explore more of it.
