The day you’ve been waiting for is finally here—moving day. If you’re a Millennial who’s moving out of your parents’ house for the first time, moving day is particularly exciting. You’re probably feeling some nervousness along with that excitement. To help ease your worries, we put together a survival guide to moving day. As a professional moving company in New York City, «One two three guys and a truck» knows exactly what you can do to make moving day stress-free.

Pack an Essentials Bag

Even when moving day goes smoothly, you’ll still find yourself exhausted at the end of the day. The last thing you want to be doing is searching through boxes to find your toothbrush and phone charger. To avoid this unnecessary stress, back a bag containing all the essential items you’ll need on moving day. In addition to your toothbrush, toothpaste, and charger, it’s a good idea to include toiletries, medicine, pajamas, and any important documents. Knowing exactly where to find your essentials will make moving day and the following days much easier.

Don’t Forget to Eat

It’s important to make sure you are properly nourished and hydrated on moving day. If you aren’t, your energy will deplete quickly, and you could become dehydrated. Pack a lunch box or cooler with food and beverages you can easily grab throughout the day. Even if you never eat breakfast, you’ll want to on moving day so you can start the day out strong. Don’t wait until the moving company is at your doorstep to sit down for breakfast. Either grab something quick and easy or wake up earlier so you can be ready to go.

Get Cleaning Supplies Ready

No matter how much you clean before you move out, removing furniture and boxes is going to kick up some dust and debris. Before you walk away from your old home or apartment for good, clean things up a little. Vacuum or sweep the floor, and dust/wipe off counters. When you leave, the place should look presentable enough that you don’t get in trouble with your landlord, and so that it’s prepared for its new residents. Do a final walkthrough to make sure you haven’t left anything behind and that everything is in good shape. If you’re a Millennial moving out of your parents’ house, you’ll still want to leave your old room looking clean and respectable as a parting gift.

Dress Appropriately

Moving day is going to feel like one of the longest days of your life, so dress comfortably. To avoid injuries, don’t wear close-fitting clothing that could get caught on something. To protect your feet, wear closed-toe shoes that you’re comfortable walking around in for long periods of time. Depending on where you’re moving, there could be a temperature change. If this is the case, dress in layers, or have extra layers on hand if you’re moving to a colder climate.
