You've gone through the stressful journey of finding somewhere to live and now all you need to do is get yourself and your possessions into your new home.

Moving can be draining, long and tiring – but with these incredibly handy tips, it doesn't have to be.

1. Keep your essentials handy

Whether you need your mugs or your plates or a bottle of wine, keeping your essentials to hand will make the whole day more pleasant. Don’t forget your necessities such as a toilet paper, your medication, snacks, a water bottle and even shower gel and a towel – you might want to freshen up once you're in.

2. Label out your boxes neatly

Whatever labelling method you like, always do it in an organized manner. Make sure that the boxes are properly marked and you know where it is going. This will make your life much easier when it’s time to unpack what’s inside these boxes.

3. Sell or Donate unwanted stuff

You might consider donating your unused stuff over to someone who needs them most. You might find out that there are lot of people who needed them more than you. As for your dearly beloved clothes or things, you can also put up a garage sale before you started packing to make a couple of bucks. This can come in handy.

4. Go Professional

If you've got a lot of bulky furniture or fragile valuables, it can be worth hiring a professional moving company to help you move. That way, you don't have to worry about fitting all your possessions in the back of your car, Tetris-style. If anything does happen to your valuables, at least with a professional moving company your belongings are covered by their insurance while in transit.
