​

They say it is a pain to live with someone who is too obsessive-compulsive beyond reason. However, there are benefits with having one inside the home especially when moving addresses is in order. Anyone can definitely pick a lesson or two in terms of the time-bound organising powers of a meticulous homeowner, and your preparation checklist during a move should somehow resemble this:

 

#1: ‘The-Bring-With-Me” pile VS “Leave-Behind” pile

 

Sometimes, the only time you will realize that your home is filled with clutter rather than hard-earned possessions is when you are slowly emptying out your house. You might have bought that ornamental clay jar from an antique shop only to find out later on that it does not fit well with the other fixtures inside your living room. You might have bought that treadmill machine to help you lose some pounds, but only to realize how a lazy couch potato you are in terms of exercising. Blame it all on our consumerist instincts, but we do have the tendency to overspend on things that we mostly buy on a whim. When moving time comes, you definitely have to come with a decision of whether that ornamental clay jar should go to your “Bring-With-Me” pile or the “Leave-Behind” pile. Take only the items that are essential and needed in your new home. When faced with what pile a certain item in your house should go to, it is best to take away all the sentimentality and the emotion you have inside of you. 

 

 

#2: Boxes, plastic wraps, ropes, tapes and that jazz

 

Organising your items into piles is just the beginning of your moving process. Now that you have a considerable amount of items in your “Bring-With-Me” pile, it is time to calculate or approximate the number of boxes you will need for the safekeeping of these items. An obsessive compulsive’s instinct that you should channel as well is the instinct of using recyclables. Instead of buying new boxes for your items’ safekeeping, use old ones or used ones that you can buy at half the price from grocery stores. Also, when buying electronics such as television units, computer desktops, or radios, it is best to keep their original boxes so you won’t have a hard time looking for the best way to ensure that these pieces of electronics will not get damaged when it is time to move out. Have ample rolls of packing tape, plastic wraps and ropes to keep your boxes’ integrity. 

 

 

#3: Labels

 

Categorising the items in your “Bring-With-Me” pile will definitely help especially when it’s time to organise the items in that pile into boxes. Keep culinary items in one box, bedroom items in another, and so on. That way, once you arrive in your new home, you know where these boxes will go. Assuming that you won’t be opening all your boxes once you arrive in your new place, having your boxes labeled well should make the sorting and organising later on a lot easier.

 

 

#4: Contact the movers

 

An obsessive compulsive knows when to stop taking matters in their own hands. They know when to call the right people to help them complete a task. Contact a removals Canberracompany if you need professional help packing and moving essential yet fragile items from your old house to the new such as your grand piano, loungers, ovens, washing machines and other large equipments. If you are coming from Canberra and moving to a new place in Newcastle, it might be best to get help from removals Newcastle that can help you safely transport your items. Travelling 436 kilometers from Canberra to Newcastle may warrant professional transport services and assistance.

 

 

A little planning, adequate materials and sufficient time will assure your move is as stress-free as possible. Concentrate on your destination and your first night at your new address. Before you know it, you’ll be unpacked and living happily ever after in your new home.
