Moving-out will certainly
be something you’ll have to face at some point in your academic experience and
it’s a big task, so tips on how to make it easier will surely be welcome.
Finding that new student accommodation would surely come first though, and this
is where Unihousing comes in. Selly Oak-based registered lettings agents
offering student studios and houses with all the furnishings needed for
contemporary student living, Unihousing provide high-standard student
accommodation in Birmingham for affordable prices in excellent locations.
To make the whole process of moving go smoother, putting together a little
plan should help you. By creating a plan or even by writing down some useful
notes you can list all the things you need to pack and all the other jobs you
need to do before you finally say goodbye to your old place. Planning ahead may
help you move your items from one place to the other in the most efficient way,
as well.
Just because the date you need to move-out on is a while away doesn’t mean
you can’t start packing stuff into boxes early. If you start packing well-ahead
of the date you are due to move, you may find that the whole process will be
less stressful and tiring as
the moving day approaches.
When it comes to moving, having a large number of boxes ready is a great
idea. It’s very easy to
underestimate how many boxes you will need for all of your belongings once you
begin packing, so “the more, the better” is a good way to approach this aspect
of the move. There’s also a risk that at least one of the boxes will rip or
break, so having some spares is useful, too. Bags- whether that’s plastic
carrier bags or rucksacks etc- are another huge boost to anybody’s chances of
having a successful move.
Having lots of paper to hand is very important, as it can be used to protect
your belongings while they are being transported from one place to another. Or,
for better protection, you could use bubble-wrap. Something else that will be
very much appreciated as you pack your possessions is a tape dispenser gun,
which is a vast improvement on using masking tape or Sellotape in a
conventional way.
Having extra pairs of hands ready to assist you will get all of your
carryings, transporting and final pieces of packing done more quickly and with less stress. And if
you don’t drive, having someone who is willing to give up their time to drive
your stuff to your new student accommodation would obviously be a huge benefit.
Getting all of your belongings out of your current studio or house and into
another one will take a while, meaning that a good sleep the night before is
ideal for making sure you have plenty of energy for the following day. By
getting up early as well, you give yourself plenty of time to get things done
and increase your chances of completing all of the liftings and carrying before
it gets dark, which would only make things more difficult.
If you haven’t quite got round to making a plan or a list, or simply don’t
think you really need one, at least remember the times at which things need to
be done at throughout the day. Times at which you are required to be out of
your current place and into the new one, or times at which you are supposed to
meet people necessary to the move, are important. Having these times in mind
could help you stay on schedule during the day as well.
Ensuring that you take breaks or at least one substantial break during your
moving day is vital, even though it can be difficult to stop sometimes once you
have started and are building momentum towards getting the whole thing done.
Without breaks, you will become increasingly tired and less productive as a
consequence. It’s also wise to drink plenty throughout the day and have a
little snack every now and then to keep
energy levels up.
Although it can be a
long day and there may be a lot of people busying around you to make your move
happen, you can still try and keep people in high spirits. Put some music on
and make the day a little more relaxing, and it should feel as though it’s
passing by a little quicker also.
Perhaps the most crucial point of all here, being careful with lifting is
essential; not only is being careful with heavy lifting good for your health,
but not lifting correctly could get you hurt which would mean you probably not lifting
anymore for that day.
Sharing the load with someone who’s there to help, crouching down instead of
bending to the load and assessing the route you are taking to carry the load
are some of the general principles for lifting, but it’s best to look online
for a comprehensive guide to correct lifting and carrying.
