We are continuing our series of articles highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of moving to a new area.  Our previous article touched on the importance of engaging a full service moving company to handle your long distance move. We also covered some advantages, including personal growth and economic opportunities. Today, we will look at two more benefits of starting anew.

CHANGE OF SCENERY

A change of scenery can do wonders for your emotional and mental health.  You have new grocery stores and shopping opportunities to explore. Different healthcare providers could offer a different perspective on any medical issues you may be struggling with. And an entirely new social circle can be invigorating and refreshing. You have a world of new opportunities at your fingertips!

PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

Burnout is a real problem in many vocations. Whether you want to find employment in your existing line of work or try something completely different, new job prospects can help rejuvenate your career and get you excited about working again.

As you purge items in preparation for your upcoming move, you may come across food items. Although movers and packers will gladly pack and transport them, you may decide you wish to start fresh and not take them with you. If this is the case, then you can either give them to family and friends or donate them to a local food bank. Let’s take a look at some of the items food banks will accept and the ones they will not.

ITEMS THEY WILL ACCEPT

Food banks welcome canned items including soup, food, sauces, fruits, fish, meats, and veggies and more. They also need pasta, rice, beans, cereals, oats, juice, cookies, crackers, condiments, candy, and peanut butter. Nutritious food and items that are high in protein are especially desirable.

ITEMS TO TOSS

Items that are out of date cannot be accepted by most food banks.  Any food that has been opened should also be tossed. Food banks also shy away from cans or packages that do not have a label. Fresh items that require refrigeration are also questionable since they may not be able to determine how well or long the item had previously been refrigerated.

Our previous article discussed the importance of measuring your new residence to make sure all of your furniture not only fits in the rooms, but through doors, hallways, etc. We also covered the importance of getting rid of items you no longer need before your move. Today, we will look at a few more tips as recommended by our professional full service movers.

PLAN TO MOVE ITEMS THAT MOVERS CAN’T

There are certain items that cannot be transported by a packing and moving company. Be sure to contact your full service movers to inquire about their policies and any items in question. If there are materials that your movers and packers are unable to handle, you will need to make other arrangements to transport them. If you need to move some items yourself, take time to come up with an efficient plan to do so. Read more about the various types of items a packing and moving company cannot move.

CAREFULLY SELECT YOUR MOVING COMPANY

It is important to be very selective when it comes to hiring a packing and moving company.  Look for customer reviews, longevity, and years of experience to help you narrow down your choices. Unfortunately, there are numerous fly-by-night and less than reputable moving companies. It is well worth your while to do your homework and research.

Our next article will cover more things you should consider doing before you move.

Moving to a new home sometimes also means relocating to a new workspace as the shift towards working from home appears to be becoming more permanent. Our long distance and local movers and packers have seen a sharp increase in the number of people who work from a home office. We are continuing our series of articles discussing some tips for moving your home office.  Our previous article covered the importance of scheduling your home move at a time that does not conflict with your work and throwing away, selling, or donating items you no longer need before your movers and packers arrive.  Today, we will provide you with more helpful tips to consider.

BACKUP COMPUTERS AND DOCUMENTS

It is extremely important to backup all your important data and documents before your movers and packers arrive. This will help protect your data should something unforeseen happen to your computer or files.  Important documents can be scanned so there is an electronic backup of them.  As far as computer data, it is a best practice to make both a local backup on an external hard drive and a cloud-based backup.

SCHEDULE INTERNET SERVICE

If you work from home, your home office will likely be one of the first areas you will want to set up. You will need to schedule a time for your intended provider to come out and set up your internet service.  Not having access to the internet is a deal breaker when you work from home.

We are continuing or series on what items you should consider taking with you when you move. In any event, you should make a separate pile of items that you are and are not taking with you before your moving company arrives.  You do not want the movers and packers to accidentally pack something you plan to throw away, sell or donate. Our previous article covered some tips to help you determine what to take with you including determining which items are still functional and deciding whether or not you still have a use for it.  Here are two more aspects to consider.

IS IT STILL IN STYLE?

Decide whether or not the items you wish to keep are still in style. If not, ask yourself if you are comfortable with them anyway. If the answer is, “yes” and you plan to utilize them, then keep them. However, if you never plan to wear that high school jean jacket that you have been hanging on to for decades, then it may be time to get rid of it.

IS MOVING IT PRACTICAL?

It is always important to consider the practicality of moving some items.  Sometimes moving them is not of any benefit and would result in issues and expense. Maybe you still have your sleeper sofa from 1990 that is bulky, heavy, requires three people to carry, and takes up a good amount of room in the moving truck. Unless you are attached to this sofa or have a defined reason for keeping it, now may be the time to let it go.

Our next article will cover more tips to help you determine whether you should keep an item for your movers and packers to handle or if it would be more advantageous to sell, donate, or trash it.
