14 Tips and Tricks For Moving in NYC
Congrats on your new apartment in the Concrete Jungle!
Let’s face it: moving can be just as stressful as it is exciting. You have a lot of stuff, and you care about keeping it organized, protected, and in one piece. Here are 14 moving tips and tricks to make your move in NYC hassle-free, without losing your precious belongings (or your temper).
1. Get organized ASAP
Moving is a hefty task that requires a long list of to-dos. The more organized you are, the lighter your load will feel. Start off by mapping out everything you have to do, from start to finish. Begin by creating a moving checklist, then mark every important task on a digital calendar. We recommend using Google Cal, because it’s super easy to invite others to view your tasks and events. Breaking your tasks into small items will make moving feel much more manageable. P.S. Don’t forget to add a champagne celebration to your calendar to give yourself a treat to look forward to.
2. Add a splash of color
Packing can get gloomy, so why not brighten things up? Yellow, pink, green, and blue are known to reduce stress and evoke feelings of tranquility, which you’ll probably need in times of hectic packing. So before you begin packing your boxes, print out bright colored labels and gather colorful pencils to stay organized, save time, and keep the process fun. Create labels for each room in your new digs and place them on your boxes, and make separate labels to number each moving box, which will help you make sure that no box gets lost or stolen in the process.
