That is why we prepared this text with an infallible step by step on how to organize a change and ensure that everything happens in the best possible way! Stay with us and enjoy the tips! Good reading!

Make a checklist

It is essential that you use paper and pen or spreadsheets, applications and several other technological solutions to highlight everything you have to box first and which pieces you should start with.
Write down exactly everything and try to separate storage types by categories of objects, this means that delicate objects need to be put together in just one box. Books, for example, can occupy the same space, and so on.
The importance of checking and writing down all the items will ensure that everything is clearer in relation to the positions of the pieces in your memory, which is essential to facilitate the movement at the time of change.

Organize your dates

It is important to know if it is possible to load everything in just one day and if the places of origin and destination release changes on weekends. In addition, you need to quote quotes with different companies to negotiate the best prices. For this negotiation, consider the times that the new address accepts and see if the transport company contacted offers discounts according to the day and time of the change.
A relevant tip is to talk to friends and see the possibility of using their cars to take everything you can. This can ensure that your need is to hire a smaller vehicle for the move. Finally, before separating the items, look in supermarkets and stores for cardboard boxes, as well as bubble wrap and newspapers.

Start packing

We arrived at the part of the change that takes more work. And it is necessary to act with reason, never with emotion. That is, it is time to donate various objects that are forgotten in the back of dressers, shelves and cabinets. Renew your choices for your new home, guarantee the opportunity to really live in a new space.
Start the job room by room. Give preference to the bedroom or the living room, places where there is usually a greater accumulation of elements. After completing work in these locations, go to the other rooms in the house, such as the bathroom, kitchen and laundry area.
Everything that will be needed for immediate use should be left out, such as slippers, towels, personal hygiene items, and others. Make a note of everything inside the boxes, and an important tip is to always separate the objects by type, indicating all the boxes that have fragile objects with large letters.

Separate important and valuable things

Separate all objects that are important and have value. They are objects such as jewelry, documents, passports, money, checkbooks, etc. All of this needs to be taken with you so that disorders are avoided. Put them all in a separate box and write “take it with me” and on the day of the move, don't forget it. If you have a safe, it is ideal to keep everything in it for transport.

Change addresses

Ask for the disconnection and transfer of the phone, cable TV and the internet so that you do not run out of such relevant services in your new home. Also ask your auto and home insurers for your insurance endorsements, that is, the necessary changes to your policies considering your new address. Also, be sure to change the addresses of correspondence such as health insurance, bank and subscriptions to newspapers and magazines, so that they arrive at the new location. Paying a fine simply because the bill did not reach the correct destination on the date is a huge waste of money that you certainly would not want to have.

Turn off the fridge and freezer

Turn off the freezer and the refrigerator. It is necessary to leave the doors open of these appliances for them to defrost and, after that, wipe with a clean cloth to dry them well. This will prevent them from getting mold. Once this is done, just pack it carefully so that it does not malfunction during the move.

Turn off all electronic devices

Do not forget to turn off all electronic devices in advance so that they are at room temperature at the time of change. Remember that some devices can get very hot when they are being used. Before storing them, it is interesting to take a picture of the connected wires so that you can know everyone's order. After all, there are so many threads that you can get confused and not know the place of each one.

Define the responsibilities of each family member

The ideal is to define the responsibilities of each person in the family so that each one can do their part and contribute so that this task becomes easier and faster. If necessary, also seek help from employees or friends. When the change is over, you can give them a bonus, for example. It is always good to thank the people who help us - even with small gestures.

Follow the change

Everything is organized and the removal company has already been hired? So, leave no room for bad luck: try to follow the whole process of change. This ensures that essential things are not left behind, as well as helping to clarify how to dismantle some  furniture , as well as labeling or remembering boxes that contain fragile objects.
Show the way to your new  apartment  or home and discuss the best routes with the driver. Consider possible problems on the streets or on the road, such as potholes. It is important to make the work of professionals as easy as possible to avoid headaches. Do not forget that you are the person most interested in ensuring that all objects reach the new destination in one piece.

Fix the new house

Everything worked? Are you already living in the new house? What good news! Now, you need to rearrange all objects in the new rooms. A good tip at this point is not to be in a hurry. You can  decorate  everything according to what you consider necessary. This is a great opportunity to make each place in the house gain new characteristics, valuing the environment.
It is best to start with the raw objects and leave the most fragile pieces last. This will avoid possible bumps when you are rearranging spaces. Also try to make the most of the   natural light of the place. Also, remember to accommodate the bed in the position that is most comfortable and, of course, test new arrangements to give a new look to social spaces.
As you can see, the idea of living in a   completely new house gives another perspective to change. That feeling of having the routine changed for the better will make you feel much happier. Undoubtedly, by taking all of this seriously, you will realize that all the effort to organize a change is very worthwhile.
