Saving Time While Moving– Moving is expensive and time-consuming, no doubt about it. Your rent or mortgage may be the biggest expense on your mind, but the cost of the move itself can catch anyone off guard, especially first-time movers. And whether it is your first time moving or your tenth, the amount of time you need to carve out for packing can quickly become overwhelming and lead to unnecessary stress. Follow these five helpful tips to make your moving experience a breeze.
Reutilizar cajas viejas - Puede parecer un consejo de mudanza obvio, pero puede reducir tus gastos mucho más de lo que crees. Si sabes que tienes una mudanza próximamente, empieza a guardar las cajas en las que vienen tus compras online, o las compras en tienda si vienen en una caja lo suficientemente resistente como para guardar tus pertenencias de forma fiable. Por ejemplo, Amazon ofrece un juego de 30 cajas para mudanzas por $61,99, es decir, $61,99 que podrías ahorrar por completo reutilizando cajas en perfecto estado de compras que ya hayas hecho. También puedes ofrecerte a liberar espacio de almacenamiento para tus familiares y amigos llevándote las cajas que ya no necesiten, siempre que estén en buen estado, claro. Este truco no sólo le ahorrará dinero, sino que, al reducir el número de cajas que tendrá que comprar, también reducirá su impacto ambiental.
Reutilizar periódicos viejos, papel de seda y material de embalaje – Not unlike the first tip, reusing whatever you have on hand to aid in packing will give you a bit more of a cushion in your presupuesto móvil. If you make a purchase that comes with packing peanuts, bubble wrap, etc., save that material to use when you pack up your own belongings. You can also ask around to see if anyone you know has anything you can use. Old newspapers or magazines are a fantastic way to free up some space and keep your things safe during a move. Wrap glass items in newspapers, stuff magazine pages and tissue paper in between items, and pad everything with reused bubble wrap and packing peanuts. The less money you need to spend on things that you will only throw away after the move, the better. This tip is also helpful for reducing your environmental impact, which is something we can all feel good about doing.
Organice una fiesta para hacer las maletas - Even if you are only moving down the street, a move is a big moment in anyone’s life. It is a moment worthy of celebration and a time when you could surely use a hand or two as well. Grab some snacks and drinks and invite all your friends and family over to help you pack. Ask them to bring any packing supplies they have on hand and come over for a day of spending time together and getting things done. Nobody enjoys simply helping someone move, but if you make a fun event of it, it not only saves you a ton of time, but gives you a chance to spend time with your friends and family when you may not otherwise get to see much of them due to how busy you are. What better way to liven up your moving experience than with a party?
Vender algunas cosas – It is no secret that the less you need to pack when moving, the better. If you have any items you are willing to part with, you can make some quick cash and save yourself the hassle of moving big, bulky items such as furniture by having a yard sale or selling your things online. Facebook Marketplace is a fantastic way to sell your things to people who live right in your area so you can avoid the trouble of packing up and shipping the items to whoever buys them. Cutting down on the number of belongings you need to move with will save you a ton of storage space, and the extra money you make from selling things you no longer need with put even more padding back into your budget.
Practique un poco de yoga ligero o meditación - Las mudanzas siempre son estresantes, al menos en cierta medida. El estrés puede detener su progreso y hacer que la experiencia de mudarse sea innecesariamente difícil. Tómese su tiempo para empaquetar todos esos pensamientos sobre embalaje, almacenamiento, empresas de mudanzas, viajes y gastos en una caja de mudanzas mental y guárdela en el fondo de su mente durante un rato con algunas técnicas sencillas de relajación. Puede parecer que no tiene tiempo para relajarse y apreciar la vida, pero si descuida su salud mental durante el proceso de mudanza, puede verse tan abrumado que necesite dejar de empaquetar cada treinta minutos para tomarse una copa de vino durante una hora y escapar de la locura.
