Are you in the process of moving? If so, you're likely to be busy with a million things at once, including parking and vetting potential moving services. But while you're juggling boxes and furniture, don't forget these seven important items.
The last thing you want is to be stuck in a new city without access to your identification or other important paperwork. Make sure you pack all your documents, such as birth certificates, social security cards, and more. You can also scan and email yourself these documents or store them on a secure cloud drive for easy access.
If you have prescriptions, make sure they are packed in your luggage when it's time to move. It's also a good idea to create an extra copy of your prescription or call your doctor for refills before you leave. That way, if something happens, you're prepared with the appropriate medication.
If you have a pet, make sure to pack their food, supplies, and any medication they require. It may also be helpful to bring along a toy or blanket that smells like home. Pets are very sensitive animals who will greatly appreciate your efforts.
Don't forget the most essential tools in your possession. Whether you're a DIY fanatic or just handy around the house, make sure to pack all of your supplies and equipment before moving. Remember to empty all the drawers and cabinets in your garage as well as any storage containers you may have.
Any dry cleaning or laundry you've done should be picked up before your move. If you're not able to do it before your move, be sure to ask a friend or neighbor to collect and hold onto your items until you're able to pick them up. Otherwise, they'll consider the clothing abandoned and will dispose of it accordingly.
If you have a spare set of keys for your vehicle, make sure they are packed in your carry-on. It's easy to forget about these extra keys until you desperately need them. Make the most of moving day by double checking all drawer and cabinet contents to ensure everything's accounted for.
Before moving, you should make sure to go through and pull together all of your cords and chargers. Now is also a good time to create a list of all the devices you own and note which cables or plugs they need for them to work.
Moving can be stressful and overwhelming. However, it's important to remember to pack the items listed above to make moving day as smooth as possible. You'll want to make sure you're thoroughly prepared; according to NerdWallet, you'll want to be sure to have at least 25 percent surplus materials as you prepare for the move.
