<strong>Things</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>consider</strong> <strong>before</strong> <strong>shifting</strong> <strong>your</strong> <strong>home</strong>!<br />
When we’re moving in<strong>to</strong> a new house, you’re excited, but a little part of the mind is worried about the<br />
things <strong>to</strong> do, taken care of and <strong>consider</strong> <strong>before</strong> <strong>shifting</strong>. Tasks like packing, moving, dealing with the<br />
Internet, cable and other connections, clearing all dues sound nightmare. After some time, these<br />
thoughts overpower the excitement of moving in and sometimes might result in delay or more<br />
expenses.<br />
The following are some of the tips <strong>to</strong> be more efficient while <strong>shifting</strong> <strong>your</strong> <strong>home</strong>:<br />
1. Do the talking in Numbers- Don’t ever try <strong>to</strong> plan by saying “I’ll shift by next week” or “I’ll pay the<br />
dues by evening”, rather fix a time and date like, “On 4th, I’m moving in<strong>to</strong> the new house” and “at 5, I’m<br />
going <strong>to</strong> pay the bills online”. Always try <strong>to</strong> plan in Number so that you get clarity in <strong>your</strong> mind.<br />
2. Use Mobile Apps for “To do List”- This is very important and the best tip one can give. Smartphones<br />
are the best aid while you’re <strong>shifting</strong> as they can remind you about the things <strong>to</strong> do and show which<br />
tasks <strong>to</strong> be completed first, that is give you a sequential plan. Nowadays, one can set a reminder of<br />
calling or texting someone and the application itself does everything. This is helpful unless you start<br />
“What’s apping” <strong>your</strong> friend or watching YouTube videos.<br />
3. Segregating according <strong>to</strong> nature- Like the bin bags, one has <strong>to</strong> start separately from the Books and<br />
documents from Clothes and utensils. There should be different boxes or containers for kitchen utensils,<br />
books and stationaries, dresses and other items. Also, packing should be started as early as possible<br />
because it’s complicated.<br />
4. Hire Professional Movers- It is very important <strong>to</strong> hire professional movers as you can’t afford <strong>to</strong> take<br />
this task, while you’ve many ‘big ones’ in mind. And importantly they’re professional in this and do this<br />
job perfectly and more efficiently. But <strong>before</strong> trusting on the company or the firm, extensive research is<br />
necessary as you also can’t afford <strong>to</strong> damage any of <strong>your</strong> things.
5. Pay all the dues- Before moving in<strong>to</strong> a new place, you should always clear out the back. When you<br />
move in <strong>to</strong> a new place, you’ve ‘No Idea!’ how many things you’ve <strong>to</strong> do, so clearing out the old will<br />
definitely help.<br />
6. Keep <strong>your</strong> documents safely- We often hear, whenever someone moves in<strong>to</strong> a new place, one of his<br />
important papers, document or Pho<strong>to</strong> albums are lost or misplaced, and they get them after years and<br />
their expiry. So, keeping <strong>your</strong> documents safe and separately is the very important thing <strong>to</strong> be done.<br />
The above tips will help but don't solve the tasks because the real job is solved with efficient planning<br />
and sometimes luck. It is also essential <strong>to</strong> clean the place <strong>before</strong> moving in<strong>to</strong> a new one. Before moving<br />
in, check whether the place has all the basic connections like Electricity and Water. Read and listen as<br />
many blogs and people <strong>before</strong> the start and when started never listen <strong>to</strong> anyone as they might confuse<br />
and pressurize you.
