Relocating to Florida is not just about the golden beaches, entertainment, easy-going lifestyle, or even another zip code. It is about finding a happy balance between thrill and chill, embracing the easiness of sunshine-filled days, quiet evenings, and local connection. That said, it’s important to sync your move with the Florida rhythm. To make your move a breeze, a great place to start is finding a Florida moving and storage company.
Once you have, follow the next steps to make your move easier.
Have a plan
You are the captain of your ship, and fully capable of steering it and your crew to a safe harbor with a map and plan! Create a moving plan. That includes a list of what you are going to do and when you are going to do it. It helps you to feel organized and allows you to visualize what you need to do so it does not sneak up on you at the last minute!
No Mess, No Fuss - Declutter
Get rid of everything you haven’t used in a while. Donate it, give it to friends, or dump it in the trash where it probably belongs.
Inventory
Now that you have gotten rid of the unnecessary stuff, it’s time to look through what is left and decide if it will fit into your apartment. If it will not, maybe it’s time to sell some stuff and pack some things into storage.
Sort
Now after significantly reducing your things, it’s time to put them in neat categories that are easy to pack and unpack when you get to your beachside property in Florida.
Contact a Moving and Storage Company
You do not have to do all the hauling on your own. Get help from a Florida moving and storage company like PODS. Simply call them up and they will bring some containers over to store the things you deem too valuable to throw away, the things that may not fit in your current space such as those holiday decorations, and so much more. On top of that, they can pick up your packed things and have them waiting for you in Florida.
Load Up and Let Go
Now it’s time to get some boxes, zip-lock bags, sharpies, and tape. Make sure you protect all the breakables with wrapping paper and bubble wrap. Then neatly pile by pile, pack them into boxes, tape them up, and label them like this: Bedroom, Clothes, Kitchen, Cups, and so on.
If you’re using PODS’ containers, you can pack your belongings at your convenience – taking weeks, even months but make sure to pack the toiletries and utensils you use daily in the end.
After you’re done with all these steps, say goodbye to your old place, travel to Florida to find a new life, and your precious possessions that were dropped off by PODS waiting for you.
