No matter how well-prepared you are, even the best-laid plans can go awry on moving day. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s important to plan for what you want and be prepared for what you don&rsquo;t want.<\/p>\n<p>Below, we&rsquo;ve put together the ultimate guide to a quick and painless move-out day. Follow these steps, and you&rsquo;ll be out of your old home and into the new before you can say, &ldquo;Help!&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"plan-ahead-make-a-to-do-list\">Plan Ahead! Make a To-Do List<\/h3>\n<p>One of the best tips we can give you for a painless move-out day? Plan ahead! Moving brings up enough uncertainties <i>without <\/i>needing to use guesswork on your actual move day.<\/p>\n<p>The ideal moving day to-do list will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Plans for safe spaces for children and pets during the move<\/li>\n<li>Ensuring utilities remain on during the move<\/li>\n<li>Plans for food, drinks, and first aid while moving<\/li>\n<li>Assignments for individual tasks (especially if you&rsquo;re doing a DIY move)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"keep-your-phone-fully-charged\">Keep Your Phone Fully Charged<\/h3>\n<p>We can&rsquo;t stress this one enough! You may need to get into contact with any number of a variety of people during your move-out day. Instead of being caught without a way to do that, keep your phone charged all day long. You&rsquo;ll be grateful you did when it&rsquo;s time to make a last-minute call or you need to connect with your movers before they arrive.<\/p>\n<html><body><div id=\"in_post\">\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/search\" onclick=\"rudderanalytics.track('press editorial cta button', {location: 'first in post', version: '2.0'}, () =&gt; { console.log('track call'); });\">\r\n  <div class=\"first-in-post-cta\">\r\n    <header>\r\n      <h2 id=\"how-neighbor-is-changing-storage\">How Neighbor is changing storage<\/h2>\r\n    <\/header>\r\n    <section>\r\n      <div class=\"service-option\">\r\n        <div class=\"service-option-icon\">\r\n          <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"60\" height=\"60\" viewbox=\"0 0 60 60\" fill=\"none\">\r\n            <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M13.125 9.375C11.0539 9.375 9.375 11.0539 9.375 13.125V46.875C9.375 48.9461 11.0539 50.625 13.125 50.625H46.875C48.9461 50.625 50.625 48.9461 50.625 46.875V13.125C50.625 11.0539 48.9461 9.375 46.875 9.375H13.125ZM28.125 16.875C28.125 15.8395 28.9645 15 30 15C31.0355 15 31.875 15.8395 31.875 16.875V20.625H35.625C36.6605 20.625 37.5 21.4645 37.5 22.5C37.5 23.5355 36.6605 24.375 35.625 24.375H26.25C25.2145 24.375 24.375 25.2145 24.375 26.25C24.375 27.2855 25.2145 28.125 26.25 28.125H33.75C36.8566 28.125 39.375 30.6434 39.375 33.75C39.375 36.8566 36.8566 39.375 33.75 39.375H31.875V43.125C31.875 44.1605 31.0355 45 30 45C28.9645 45 28.125 44.1605 28.125 43.125V39.375H22.5C21.4645 39.375 20.625 38.5355 20.625 37.5C20.625 36.4645 21.4645 35.625 22.5 35.625H33.75C34.7855 35.625 35.625 34.7855 35.625 33.75C35.625 32.7145 34.7855 31.875 33.75 31.875H26.25C23.1434 31.875 20.625 29.3566 20.625 26.25C20.625 23.1434 23.1434 20.625 26.25 20.625H28.125V16.875Z\" fill=\"#005EB8\"><\/path>\r\n          <\/svg>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <h3 id=\"transparent-monthly-savings\">Transparent monthly savings<\/h3>\r\n        <p>Renters save 30-50% on self storage, on average.

Skip foods that will make you feel bloated or tired &mdash; and stay away from the ones that aren&rsquo;t very filling, too.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&rsquo;t matter whether your move starts at 8 AM sharp or your movers won&rsquo;t be arriving until noon. The easiest way to stay on top of your move is to be awake bright and early to keep tabs on everything.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"get-dressed-and-wear-the-right-clothes\">Get Dressed &mdash; and Wear the Right Clothes<\/h3>\n<p>There are definitely some clothes that are right for move-out day and some that aren&rsquo;t. It&rsquo;s always a good idea to think your moving day outfit out <i>before <\/i>the day arrives. Wear comfortable, breathable, flexible clothes that you aren&rsquo;t afraid of tearing or staining.<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s a reason that the pros don&rsquo;t wear sandals, shorts, or dresses on move-out day. You don&rsquo;t want to be injured or ruin your clothes while you try to pack up your items. Wear close-fitting clothing and plan for any potential weather impacts like snow or rain.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pack-a-cooler\">Pack a Cooler<\/h3>\n<p>Packing a cooler is a great way to make sure that you and your moving team stay refreshed throughout the day. If you can include some grab-and-go snacks in the cooler, even better. It&rsquo;s also a good way to transport food from your fridge or freezer during the move.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pack-last-minute-items\">Pack Last-Minute Items<\/h3>\n<p>For a painless move-out day, you should have already minimized any moving day packing that might be required. If you do have last-minute items that need packing, though, the move-out day is definitely your last chance to handle them. Be careful not to rush your packing too much: improperly packed items are at risk.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"greet-your-movers\">Greet Your Movers<\/h3>\n<p><img  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7173 pk-lazyload\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Homeowner talking with movers on move-out day\"  width=\"1365\"  height=\"768\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(max-width: 1365px) 100vw, 1365px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Homeowner-talking-with-movers-on-move-out-day.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Homeowner-talking-with-movers-on-move-out-day.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Homeowner-talking-with-movers-on-move-out-day-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Homeowner-talking-with-movers-on-move-out-day-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Homeowner-talking-with-movers-on-move-out-day-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Homeowner-talking-with-movers-on-move-out-day-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Homeowner-talking-with-movers-on-move-out-day-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Homeowner-talking-with-movers-on-move-out-day-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.neighbor.com\/storage-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Homeowner-talking-with-movers-on-move-out-day-1160x653.jpg 1160w\" ><\/p>\n<p>Never assume that your movers know exactly what you want. Instead, take your time to give them a friendly greeting and then spend a while going over everyone&rsquo;s expectations for the move. Ensure that boxes are easy-to-reach and clearly labeled. Discuss what you want (with specifics) during the move, and make sure that the movers are on the same page.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"keep-an-eye-on-the-move\">Keep an Eye on the Move<\/h3>\n<p>It&rsquo;s always a good idea to moderate a move as it happens. You shouldn&rsquo;t pressure your movers or hover near them while they work, but you should be around to keep an eye on things and answer questions. This will help ensure that the move goes quickly and smoothly.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"do-a-final-sweep-of-your-home\">Do a Final Sweep of Your Home<\/h3>\n<p>We all intend to be careful when we&rsquo;re moving out. Nobody <i>plans <\/i>to leave something behind or miss a task on their way out of their home.<\/p>\n<p>With that said, it&rsquo;s easy for details and items to be overlooked in the chaos of move-out day (even a painless move-out day). It&rsquo;s easier to collect your things while you still live somewhere than it is to double back and try to recover items later. You should conduct a thorough inspection to ensure that you have done and taken everything you want to. If possible, have somebody else help. Two perspectives are stronger than one.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4 id=\"pro-tip-for-a-painless-move-out-day\">Pro Tip for a Painless Move-Out Day<\/h4>\n<p>Don&rsquo;t forget areas that aren&rsquo;t often used!
