Everyone knows that moving is an incredibly stressful experience, even if you’re excited about the move. The level of stress multiplies when you learn at the last minute that you need to move. 

Maybe you got a job that needs you to start right away or your landlord decided to sell your building. No matter what your reason is for a last-minute move, you can get through it. Read on for some tips for moving out fast!

1. Start Packing ASAP

When you receive word that you need to pack up to move ASAP, you might start panicking and thinking “I need to sell my house fast!” You also need to think about getting your stuff packed up.

It’s important to get started on your packing right away. Start by packing up items that you know you want to keep but you rarely use. Then move to more frequently used items until your whole home is packed up.

If you’re in a major hurry, getting this accomplished means spending all of your spare time packing up your home. It doesn’t have to be dull work, though. Flip on the TV and catch up on your shows or turn on an interesting podcast and immerse yourself in it as you pack up.

2. Sell or Donate Items

Facing a time crunch? One of the best ways to effectively pack up all of your stuff quickly is to have less stuff to pack. This means you need to be extra judicious about the stuff that you want to pack and the stuff you want to keep. 

As you move through your home, box up the items you want to take with you, but think about whether that item holds any value or has any use to you. If you no longer need the item, then decide whether you want to sell it, donate it, or toss it away.

For extra motivation, think of how much you can save on your move by having less stuff to move and more cash in your pocket from the sale of items you don’t need anymore.

3. Organize Less

If you’re a super-organized person, this step is going to be difficult for you. If you don’t have a ton of time to plan your move, then you don’t have time to sit around and organize all of your stuff. 

You’ll have to pack as you go through each room and be thoughtful about what should go in each box. In quick moves, it’s best to label boxes by room and then take your time sorting out your stuff once you’re in your new home. 

4. Ask for Help

The best way to pack up and move out fast is to enlist the help of friends and family. Throw a packing party and provide food and beverages as an incentive.

Don’t want to ask loved ones for help? You can also utilize the packing services of a professional moving company. It might cost you more, but you’ll save on stress!
