A Guide To Moving In 24 Hours - Can It Be Done?
Time waits for no man, nor woman. It’s not hard to see how true this is as the years pass and we still feel like the same person, only in a world that looks much different.
The truth is that time is not something we can control, but we can certainly move with it, embrace the flow, and try to make decisions with that in mind.
However, sometimes, our schedule that tries to maximize the productive flow of time turns back to bite us. For example, it might be that you’ve planned to move house, but you only have a day or two to achieve it.
Moving in 24 hours might seem like a pipe dream, but if you have work on the following day, need to move out of your new home and need to occupy the new place soon after that, or you have other pressing responsibilities to attend to, then this may be a very real necessity.
In this post, we’ll discuss how to achieve such a feat with calm control, and nothing left behind:

A Guide To Moving In 24 Hours - Can It Be Done?
Set Your Utilities For The Move-In Date
It’s wise to set up the utilities ahead of time, so when you move into your new place, everything is up and running. Otherwise, you might have to plan time in alternate accommodation, like waiting near your new home in a hotel until everything is up and running. For the most part, this is simple. Having your water, and electrical provisions supplied by the time you move in will ensure that you can live comfortably and settle down.
Of course, some utilities can wait. Even if your internet connection is up and running within a week or two, you’ll be able to survive relatively well. Make sure you know if certain utilities require a technician to come and install, because you may need them to arrive later in the day.

Prepare The Property
It’s good to prepare the property ahead of time before moving. Sure, you might actually move in 24 hours with all your belongings, but you may have access to the property before that, too. If so, scheduling some time to get the keys and send someone to meet you at the property as you follow your moving service can be very helpful.
This means that perhaps you can travel to the new home during an evening in the workweek, and then schedule your full move ahead of time. This way, you can clear the garage ready to receive the moving boxes and other preparations you consider to be necessary.

A Tight Removalist Schedule
Using the best moving company is not only going to save you money and hassle, but time as well. A moving service, made aware of your tight schedule, may be more than happy to pick up your belongings the night before so you can set off early in the morning for the new home.
They may even be willing to use self-storage services to better secure your items while you get settled in. Depending on how far you’re moving, a 24 hour timeline to bring your items from point A to point B is something that many removalist services will be comfortable with. So don’t be afraid to stipulate your needs and move on from that point, confident that you only have to take care of yourself and your family.

Disassemble Furniture & Categorize Items
The packing process will take up most of your time, and of course, packing up an entire household, moving, and then unloading will take more than a day. So, for at least a month before your move, you can slowly begin disassembling furniture you want to bring with you, categorizing items you hope to arrive with, and throw out or sell those that you don’t.
This way, when the removalists come, they can easily pack your items and then place them on their insurance coverage plan to protect them. On top of that, setting up which boxes correspond to which rooms, and also making a larger “essentials box” means you can easily place the boxes in the right rooms and then slowly unpack over a number of weeks. At the very least, your items will be safe, clean, and in the exact condition they left the old house in.

With this advice, you’ll be sure to move house in 24 hours, even if that seems like a rather intensive pipe dream for the time being. Sure, some preparations will need to be made, but at least you know scheduling your move on a weekend day is possible.
