Use your friends.
Friends are the perfect packing and moving helpers. If your friends don’t help you move are they really your true friends?! Just don’t ask that one friend with a truck. They probably get asked to help move frequently.

However, moving companies can’t help you pack yours belongs. Those heavy times will be a thing in the past. A bonus perk is that if you are planning on moving items to or out of a storage unit, they will be able to help you along the process.
Get organized.
The world is filled with procrastinators. Don’t be that one person who leaves getting organized to the very last moment!Procrastination only leaves you stressed and overwhelmed. Create a plan for your move and stick to it.
Label all your boxes with a short description of what they contain and the room you’d like them placed in on move-in day. You don’t want movers to toss a box full of your finest China into the bathroom.
Alternatively, if you are storing some items for the time being in a storage unit, labeling will make it easier to know what stays in a storage unit.
Proper labeling will save you time and energy for when unboxing comes around. A little planning ahead of time will save you headaches and time in the long run.
Using a storage unit.
Moving is already a struggle, but finding a location to store your items is hard. If your lease is up before finding a new place, you could have an endless search in storage.
Nothing is more painful than finally having to clean out that storage room or closet. Finding space in your new home for all your valuables will take time, but bit by bit, you’ll get through it.
Instead of rushing through it and storing everything in strange places until you’re ready, place them a storage unit. Storage units give homeowners the upper hand to getting organized.
