How to Make Moving Day Less Stressful

The Night Before

  • Confirm arrival time with movers
  • Finish any last-minute packing
  • Charge all devices
  • Get a good night's sleep
  • Set multiple alarms

Morning Of

  • Wake up early
  • Eat a good breakfast
  • Do a final walkthrough
  • Have coffee/water ready for the team
  • Keep important items with you

During the Move

  • **Let the professionals work.** Resist the urge to micromanage every box.
  • **Stay available** for questions but out of the way.
  • **Keep kids and pets** safely occupied elsewhere.
  • **Stay hydrated** and take breaks when needed.
  • **Keep your sense of humor**—something will go differently than planned!

Managing Stress

  • Take deep breaths when feeling overwhelmed
  • Focus on one task at a time
  • Remember: this chaos is temporary
  • Celebrate small wins throughout the day

At the New Place

  • Direct furniture to its final location (moving twice is harder)
  • Start with essentials: beds, bathroom, kitchen
  • Order takeout—you've earned it
  • Don't expect to unpack everything today
