Its the day you have been dreading for weeks on end. Its moving day and you are completely losing your mind. There is so much that has to get done and you are spreading yourself incredibly thin. You may not even have time to hire any professional movers. So you do the next best thing. You ask your friends and family to help you move. When you use your friends and family to help you move you should take a few precautions. Remember you want these people to still like you after the move is over.

Make sure you can find a way to politely get your friends and family to help. You don’t want them to feel under appreciated or as if they have been taken advantage of. One of the best ways to show appreciation is to throw a party in your helps honor. You can disguise it as a house warming (or leaving party). Invite all your family and friends and they’ll likely feel appreciated. You should remember to keep in contact with them after you have moved. You don’t want them to think you only call or email when you need something from them.

The best way to avoid any flare-up of tempers or unfortunate misunderstandings is to plan ahead as thoroughly as possible, while keeping things flexible enough to allow for deviations and even possible set-backs. This way, your friendships and family ties don’t become a thing of the past like your old place of residence!

The biggest factor causing stress on Moving Day is going to be the loading and unloading itself. So ensure that you don’t add to the tension by checking to see whether everything’s really been packed up and packed up well. Remember that your friends and family are donating their services, and be considerate of their time and effort by going the extra mile yourself, making certain that everything is ready to go when they arrive. Unless they have been specifically detailed to help you pack, you do not want surprise them with any extra work. Nor do you want them to simply hang around while you take care of what should have already been taken care of!

As an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, so too does it pay more than anything for you to have a water-tight plan of action that is executed more or less like clockwork on Moving Day. This way, people do not feel taken for granted or inconvenienced more than they had bargained, while you save money on professional moving services and actually cement your ties ever-stronger through shared stress.
