Three Ways To Minimize Stress and Frustration When Moving Items Into A Unit Moving day can be a nightmare if you haven’t done any advance preparation, even if you’re just putting a few items in a storage unit. However, with a small amount of planning, you can minimize the stress and exhaustion that some times comes along with moving. Here are three tips to make the most out of moving day when it’s time to use self-storage in Tucson. Do Some Advanced Organizing Whether it’s moving a whole house or just some boxes into a storage unit, make sure that moving day is used for moving – not organizing, packing, or cleaning. If you’re busy multi-tasking, you’ll waste a lot of time and effort – and potentially someone else’s time and effort who has volunteered to assist you! You can decrease the time you spend packing boxes by assembling them in advance and putting them in a corner; that way, you can grab what you need at your leisure. When boxes are done being packed, organize them in such a way that you’ll be able to put less necessary items toward the back of your unit and ones you’d like to access more regularly toward the front. You can even make a small “map” of your unit to help yourself in a time crunch. Don’t try to empty things like chests and dressers if their items are meant to go in storage, too. You’ll save time by leaving linens in drawers, for example. Label Boxes on Both Sides And Load Trucks Smarter That way, no matter which direction you’ve packed your boxes into your unit, you’ll be able to see just what it was you placed in there. If you’ve rented a truck to transport your items, you can minimize injuries and save time by loading the heaviest items first (on the floor and in the front of the truck) and stacking lighter items on top. You’ll want to load the interior of your storage unit similarly. Be Sure The Moving Truck Will Fit There’s probably nothing worse than doing all the hard work of organizing and packing a truck, only to find that its dimensions are too large to fit inside the storage facility. Contact your facility manager in advance to ensure that a truck is the right size for the job. For more tips on self-storage in Tucson, contact US Storage Centers today.
