How to Help Maintain Structure During Your Move
August 22, 2014
It’s easy to feel like you’re coming off the rails during a big move. But people tend to thrive on structure, especially families with younger children. Our Orange County movers will take care of all the important details on moving day, but here’s a few ways to help your family maintain structure the weeks before and after the move.
Make an “eating out” budget. Once you’ve got all those dishes packed away, you’re probably going to need to grab some grub elsewhere. In fact, it may be worth packing the kitchen up early, as it usually takes longer than expected. Give yourself a generous budget for food during the move, and it will relieve some stress.
Try and get to bed on time. Even if your days are crazy and filled with boxes and moving logistics, keeping a regular sleep schedule will help maintain some sanity. For that matter, keeping your workout routine, although difficult, is also really helpful. And if you’ve got little ones, keep an eye on when they’re going to bed. It’s easy to let kids stay up late and watch movies while you get some move-in work done, but making them stick to a schedule will help everyone’s overall sanity.
Try to minimize other “big” changes. Moving causes enough stress for everyone involved, so try to steer away from any other major life changes if you can help it. Taking a new job, starting a new relationship, or even moving churches can add to the stress of moving time.
