Moving houses is always associated with lots of stress and hard work. This is particularly true for families Moving cross-country. There are a lot of things to think about, from moving kids, getting organized, making lists and prioritizing, avoiding jet lag, and much more. All these are factors that need to be taken into consideration when planning a cross-country move so you can make the entire process as smooth and hassle-free as possible.

Get Organized and Plan in Advance

Organizing every aspect of your move will obviously take time, patience, efficiency, and your full dedication. You need to ensure that you give yourself plenty of time to plan your move cross-country.

Start preparing about six to eight weeks in advance so that there’s no scrambling to get things done as the moving date approaches. Things like packing and finding the right rental truck need to be done without any haste otherwise you risk having things go wrong very quickly. Unlike a regular move to a different town, you can’t make multiple trips with a cross-country move, which is why organization and planning are of the utmost importance.

Decide on Your Moving Method

You have plenty of options when it comes to moving your stuff across the country. For one thing, you can choose the traditional route of packing everything into your car and driving. Alternatively, you can opt for renting a moving truck, or you can even pay professionals from a full-service moving company to take care of all aspects of the moving process for you. If you’re going with a moving company, it’s always best to get estimates as early as you can so you have time to find the best company to suit your needs. Although you may love road trips, sometimes hiring a mover is the least costly options in terms of time, energy, and money.

Stay Calm, Sane, and Avoid Jet Lag

A cross-country move can prove to be quite frustrating sometimes. However, one important thing to keep in mind is that you’re more likely to have a positive moving experience (and results) if you can keep calm and find ways to help yourself relax during the process. Also, you need to avoid jet lag so that you’re ready to settle into your new home immediately you get there.

When flying for hours across time zones, you move a lot faster than the internal clock in your body can handle. This means by the time you get to your new home, you’re jet-lagged and unable to sleep or rest. One of the best things you can do to fight jet lag during your move is to adapt your body to the new time zone even before the move. So start adjusting your sleep

habits to match those of your destination several days before the big move and you’ll be able to stay sane and avoid jet lag once you’re there.
