While these situations may be unavoidable, moving does not have to be a pain! Here\u2019s a list of easily implemented action items that can help make moving frequently easier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Create a Plan Ahead Of Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFor those of you who are in the midst of a frequent-mover lifestyle, know how important it is to have a cohesive plan for moves. Tools like the Moving Supply Calculator<\/a> are available to help you create a full moving plan. Knowing what you will need beforehand will help you prepare with ordering supplies ahead of time and reduce day-of-move headaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/10_15_Movedeal_Blanket_Bag-45-768x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nKeep the Important Things Close<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nMany people forget that packing up all of their possessions leaves nothing at their disposal. Keep overnight essentials (toiletries, changes of clothes, etc.) in a separate bag that you keep by your side throughout the moving process. This won\u2019t necessarily save any time, but you won\u2019t have any need to rip through boxes at your new home just to brush your teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keep Your Larger Items Manageable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nIf you know you are in a position where you will be moving frequently, having bulky and difficult furniture can potentially add to your stress levels. Our furniture moving guide<\/a> offers some great tips on how to handle larger items. Regardless of whether you\u2019re moving studio sized furniture or an entire single-family home, having a dolly or furniture pads<\/a> on hand never hurt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
See This as a Time to Declutter<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe amount of stuff a family or even one person can amass in a short amount of time is amazing. Our Moving Tips From a Military Wife<\/a> blog gives us insight into the habits and tips a wife adopted while being a part of a military family that is constantly moving. While there are bound to be some things that are thrown in the dumpster, donating and recycling items is always an option! Sorting through throwaways and donations ahead of time can expedite the packing process when the time comes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/10_15_Movedeal_Blanket_Bag-147-768x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nPlan Storage Solutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFor students and seasonal residents, moving back and forth between different locations within a year or even a few months isn\u2019t uncommon. If you do not own your property at your university or long-term vacation destination, then seasonal storage<\/a> is an easy way to safely manage your items and reduce the risk of losing them during trips. If you would rather have all your belongings stored closer to you, our U-Box<\/a>\u00ae containers can be shipped to your next destination for easy transportation. U-Box containers can be kept on your property or at a U-Haul storage location until you are ready to access them again!<\/p>\n\n\n\nFinding the Right Moving Vehicle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nNow that you have planned, decluttered, and organized, it is time to figure out transportation. Unless you are moving a very small amount of items, you will need to find a rental<\/a> that can accommodate your needs. For students, a cargo van<\/a> rental or even a 10\u2019 moving truck<\/a> should offer enough space for your move. For families, a larger truck<\/a> would be more appropriate due to size as well as towing capability<\/a>. If you would like a more detailed description of different truck sizes, check out our article on choosing the right truck size<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/movinginsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/8_15_JH_Winshield_Models_0046-1024x768.jpg\")
