Every now and then, life throws something our way that makes us realize just how much we’ve fallen asleep at the wheel. Just as a car that seems to come out of nowhere or motorbike swerving out in front of us can shock us out of our complacency when we’re on the road, so too can the path we travel in our day to day life erect a roadblock that makes us stop and take stock of what led us to this point. Life’s comfortable rhythms and routines can lull us into a state of semi-consciousness and when this is disrupted, it can cause us a great deal of worry and stress. The ending or evolution of a relationship, the birth of a child, a promotion at work or a new job. They’re all bittersweet mixed blessings.
But when a change in our circumstances involves moving house, you know that you have a great deal of stress and anxiety in the pipeline. Yet, with just a little forward planning and organizational skills you can not only make moving less stressful, you can even make it enjoyable…
Invest in the right movers
There’s a time to be thrifty. A time when cutting costs really doesn’t have a negative impact on the end result… But moving home is not one of those times. There are a lot of rogue movers out there who have stung their customers by “losing” their possessions on the road and let’s not forget those who are just plain incompetent. If you’re looking for a stress free move you’ll need to know how to spot a rogue mover as well as what to look for in a reputable moving company.

Plan your pizza!
Everyone has pizza on moving day. It’s just what happens. And it’s not hard to see why. Pizza makes everything better! But your pizza can either be a just and delicious reward for a well navigated moving day or just another disappointment capping off an all round dismal day. In the digital age, however, we have the ability to check out the best pizza outlets near our new home. It can help you to look forward to moving day knowing that you’ll have an aromatic cheese dripping reward for your efforts. It will galvanize you and help you to face the challenges of the day with positivity.
Get weather wise
Finally, the weather is as apt to ruin your moving day as rogue movers. Too much heat can make the effort and exertion of lifting and carrying heavy stuff almost impossible. On the other hand, too much cold can lead to muscle stiffness, pulled muscles and sprains, while rainy conditions can lead to poor visibility, slips, trips, falls and water damaged possessions.
As in most things, failing to prepare is preparing to fail. Even though you’ve checked your weather forecast prior to moving pack things like changes of clothing, footwear and plastic sheeting as well as bottled water to ensure that whatever caprices of the season you may face, you won’t get caught out.
