If I have learned anything throughout the course of my life here in Richmond Hills, ON, it’s that I am a true right-brainer. I not only do not like checklists or organization or spreadsheets or schedules—using them makes me ill, bordering on angry. I mean it! My preferences include spontaneity, colours, and heavy interaction with others. These things are where I derive energy from.
What’s my point? Okay, I’m getting to it. The point here is that the world is full of all kinds of people. We go through similar experiences and we have different approaches to them, based on our personalities. As a right-brain thinker, I’d like to share with you a couple things to encourage you (if you identify with my disdain for organizational tasks), so when the time comes for you to experience a move, you experience a stress-free process.
Moving takes a lot of organizational energy
I’m going to repeat this: moving takes a lot of organizational energy from you. If your personality is one to naturally resist systematic planning, if you tend toward procrastination, or if the idea of beginning to pack makes you desperate for assistance, the moving process will take a lot out of you if you’re doing it without professional assistance. If you live in this area, I recommend the professionals at ABS Movers & Storage. This moving company in Richmond Hills, ON has been around for a long time and they can handle ANY type of move: near, far, local, emergency moves, and last-minute. If you need storage, they’ve got you. If you want your things packed and physically loaded onto the truck for you, they’ve got you covered! Breathe that sigh of relief…
Invite friends over
Prior to your move, you will need to do some purging and organizing to help your ABS movers more swiftly pack for you. See how I assumed you’d want someone else to pack for you? So, about one or two weeks prior to your move, invite over a couple close friends, order a few pizzas, ask them to keep you focused on the task at hand, and make a day out of a Purging Party. Veto clothing you haven’t worn in more than a year or doesn’t fit and throw it in a pile. If your friends want any of those items, give them first-dibs and then donate the rest. Any kitchenware you don’t use can be donated as well. Make it your personal goal to fill your trunk at least once with Purge Items. While you purge, be sure like items are where they belong: kitchen with kitchen, clothing together, wall décor taken down and grouped, books together, etc. *Note: for take-apart furniture, it is best for you to dismantle ahead of moving day.
If you’ve gleaned anything from this short article, I hope it’s this: moving doesn’t have to be terrible, the pros at ABS Movers & Storage are wonderful and will make it easier on you, and organizing is much easier with camaraderie and pizza. Give ABS a call!
