Quebec's “National Moving Day” is fast approaching, and if you're a little behind on organizing your move, you’ve come to the right place…

Even though there’s less than a week left before the big move… There are different ways that can help you get yourself organized just in time.

Check out our list of tricks and tips here below:

1. Keep yourself organized

Make a daily checklist of essential tasks to stay organized and on track. Additionally, consider labeling boxes to streamline both packing and unpacking processes when you move to your new home.

2. Make sure you have enough supplies for the move

Ensuring you have an enough supply of boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and other packing materials is essential for a smooth moving process. Be prepared with everything you need to make the transition seamless.

3. Don’t be afraid to declutter while you’re packing

We understand the challenge of resisting the urge to pack everything, but it's beneficial to part ways with items that have been unused for a significant period. Consider starting anew and decluttering for a fresh beginning!

4. Ask for help if you need to!

Friends and family can be a valuable resource when packing, but considering professional movers is also a good option. This choice can simplify the moving process and eliminate the risk of injuring yourself while handling heavy items.

5. Get a head start on utilities

Before the hustle and bustle begins, take the time to arrange for the transfer or setup of utilities like electricity and internet at your new location.

6. Take breaks when you need to, even if you don’t want to

Engaging in a lot of lifting and cleaning can become tiring, even if you don’t immediately realize it. To manage your energy, consider creating a schedule that includes regular breaks. Be sure to have some snacks on hand and drink plenty of water throughout the day.

7. Pack an overnight bag for the big moving day

Instead of going through one of your many suitcases, prepare an overnight bag with a change of clothes, toiletries, and essential items. This way, you won’t have to search through multiple boxes to find what you need – you can take care of that the next day!

By staying organized and taking things step by step, you can make your last-minute move quite successful. Good luck!
