Waking up in a brand new apartment the day after a move is one of the most disorienting things in the world. Not only are you surrounded by a jungle of cardboard boxes and bubble wrap, but you often can’t even find the box that has your toothbrush in it and a bar of soap for a shower. Here are a few helpful tips that can make the morning after a bit easier to take. If at all possible, see if you can move a few things over the day before your actual move. If the unit you’re moving into is already empty or if the previous residents moved early, you might be able to drive over some boxes and basic amenities. If you can, completely unpack these items so they are ready for you when you move in. Things like silverware, dishes and bathroom amenities can really help you feel at home after a long day of moving. A second tip is to make sure all of your boxes are labeled properly and moved into the proper room by the movers. That way, the boxes that contain dishes or non-refrigerated food are in the kitchen and not in the bedroom. Not only will this speed the unpacking process, it will also help get you back in the groove in days, not weeks.
