Despite the fact the moving can prove to be a very tedious and stressful enterprise for many who undertake it, there are ways to make your move flow smoother and be more efficient, thus making it much less stressful for you.   Planning ahead contributes a great deal to the efficiency of your move. Early planning allows you to catch any possible mistakes you may have made and give you enough time to correct them. Rushed decision making can lead to very catastrophic and chaotic mess-ups that will compromise your move. Also take time to talk and consult with the other people involved in the move (such as family members) and get their opinions and inputs. This will help both you and them plan accordingly and adjust your schedules as needed.   Having a timetable and sticking to it is essential in moving - based on your planning, plot out the tasks you have to do and allot the time needed.   Packing also affects your move, so make sure that everything is boxed and packed properly. One important tip is to pack by room, so unpacking is easier and no items are mixed. Also, make sure that you pack breakable items with care, using materials such as bubble wrap and packing peanuts.
