Moving Day: The Big Event
Its the day you have been dreading for weeks on end. Its moving day and you are completely losing your mind. There is so much that has to get done and you are spreading yourself incredibly thin. You may not even have time to hire any professional movers. So you do the next best thing. You ask your friends and family to help you move. When you use your friends and family to help you move you should take a few precautions. Remember you want these people to still like you after the move is over.
On a positive note if your friends and family are willing to help and you should be very appreciative. You are going to have to find a way to get their services without taking advantage of them and in the end be completely thankful. You can throw a housewarming party (or house leaving party) and invite all your pals who helped you during the move. A party in their honor is a great way to show appreciation. You don’t want to burn any bridges or aggravate your family and friends by completely shunning them after they have helped you move.
Remember to plan ahead for a big move. You should have check list of the people helping you and the tasks they are assigned to (for lack of a better term). You don’t want this move to turn your friends and family into enemies, keep them happy and they’ll be glad they helped.
The biggest factor causing stress on Moving Day is going to be the loading and unloading itself. So ensure that you don’t add to the tension by checking to see whether everything’s really been packed up and packed up well. Remember that your friends and family are donating their services, and be considerate of their time and effort by going the extra mile yourself, making certain that everything is ready to go when they arrive. Unless they have been specifically detailed to help you pack, you do not want surprise them with any extra work. Nor do you want them to simply hang around while you take care of what should have already been taken care of!
As an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so too does it pay more than anything for you to have a water-tight plan of action that is executed more or less like clockwork on Moving Day. This way, people do not feel taken for granted or inconvenienced more than they had bargained, while you save money on professional moving services and actually cement your ties ever-stronger through shared stress.
