We often forget to think about the other aspects of moving like taking leaves from work, managing pending office work after the move, finding a good moving company, and organizing your new space. You need to research every single task related to a move. So, if you too are planning a move, consider all the direct and indirect factors of your move to stay sane during the move and transition.

Planning your move should be the first step of your moving process and you can use online apps to create a timeline and checklists of your moving tasks. These apps will help you in completing your listed tasks within the mentioned timeline. You will get constant and timely reminders of the tasks to be completed in a specific period.
Once you have outlined the moving process, the next step is to research for a good moving company. You can depend on online reviews and ratings created by the past customers of the companies. No company can have all good reviews, in such cases; make sure you check the company’s response to bad reviews. This will ensure if the company is good at fixing problems in case of any emergency.
Virtual Surveys of Home to Provide Moving Quotes
Once you are done with research and you end up with a few companies to select from, you will want to compare the cost and services of all those selected companies. Earlier, you had to schedule an appointment with each company to get moving price quotes and the employees of all these companies used to physically visit your house checking all your stuff and opening all your cabinets. But technology has made this embarrassing and lengthy task a lot easier. Moving companies now provide you a link and you can take them on your home tour at a mutually agreed time and they can provide you based on that virtual home tour. This way is far less invasive than the earlier practices.
Decluttering
