To most people, packing is only appealing when going on vacation, not when moving. Something about moving automatically makes packing seem stressful.
Sorting, securing breakables, preserving keepsakes, organizing, downsizing, and eliminating clutter can be a long and stressful process. This task can be overwhelming for anyone. In the case of a senior move, add 45 (or more) years of memorabilia, furniture, collectibles, and clutter to this already daunting responsibility, and you have a scenario perfect for stress and procrastination.
Tips for 'Do It Yourself' Moving
Moving could be a full-time job for weeks or months if you go it alone. The first and obvious response most people have when tasked with moving is to ask family and friends to help, but who has time to put their own life on hold to sort, pack, move, clean, and unpack? If you decide to use friends or family for your move we recommend the following:
Make a list of each person you will ask
Assign specific responsibilities to each person
Set a schedule of when exactly help is needed
Purchase all needed packing materials
