Here’s a guide to maintaining your daily work and lifestyle routines when involved in the process of relocating, from the Tristate area residential and commercial moving service team here at Noah’s Ark Moving and Storage.

What are some top strategies for preventing disruptions to your daily routine during your move?

• Planning in advance is the most crucial step
• Create a detailed moving timeline breaking tasks down into weekly or daily steps
• Moving planning checklists help you balance an organized move with your important regular activities, whether it’s work, school, or leisure
• Set realistic goals for your move – don’t do everything at once
• Spread moving tasks across weeks and days so you can stay productive during your move
• By breaking the moving process down into small chunks, you can stay efficient and avoid getting overwhelmed

What are tips for keeping my work schedule solid during a move?

• Set firm boundaries around dedicated hours of the day for work, family, or personal errands – and other hours for moving preparation
• Maintain clear communication with your place of work, family, school, and childcare providers about the timeline of your move 
• We recommend using time blocking strategies to discern necessary moving preparation steps from your important personal and professional activities

What are some packing tips that can help me maintain important daily activities when moving?

• Always pack efficiently, and pack smart!
• Don’t pack everything at once – focus on one room at a time. This will help your home feel more comfortable while you prepare for your move
• Avoid packing areas like bedrooms and kitchens until closer to moving day
• Create a set of “open-up-first” boxes that have items that you rely on every day
• Clearly label and pack these boxes with such essentials like clothing, toiletries, chargers, and important documents

What are tips for lowering schedule disruption and stress when moving?

• Keep your daily routine protected including sleep, exercise, and regular healthy meals
• This will help maintain your energy and lower stress levels
• Hiring our professional moving team is the best tip, as we can handle all complicated aks and heavy lifting, which allows you to focus better on work, family, and your personal life
