Are you planning to move soon but you are already feeling anxious and stressed out? Don’t worry, you are not alone, in fact, nearly 31 million people moved in the United States in 2019. That’s 9.8% of all Americans moving every year (1). Although the idea of not being alone might have taken away the burden for a couple of seconds, the issue remains. So, how do you and the other millions of Americans stay organized before, during and after relocating?
Here is the solution in a few steps:
1) Pack with a clear game plan – The process of packing up your home can feel overwhelming but by categorizing things in piles: keep, sell, donate, and toss, will help you keep the process under control and organized. It’s also very important to have a clear idea of what and how you are packing as it will make unpacking much easier.
2) Plan how to move– Depending on your budget and the time you have available; you can rent a big truck like a U-Haul and take care of the move by yourself or hire a professional moving company to help you with most of the work.
3) Switch off and on utilities, update your address, your car insurance, etc…the list goes on and on, but the solution is one: TrySwitch – TrySwitch is a free App that provides you with all the information you need before, during and after your move. Through the App you’ll be able to take care of all the tasks that many people may overlook or may not even know about.
With TrySwitch you can easily update your mailing address. Forgetting to do so can lead to big problems, in fact thieves can easily access your personal and sensitive information and use it to commit illegal activities, putting you in serious danger. Even if you bank online, use paperless billing and only shop through your phone or laptop, you may receive statements, your updated credit card, seasonal offers and other important financial information in the mail which can fall into the wrong hands if you do not update your mailing address (2).
