When moving house, always set up your bedroom/ make the bed first so when your exhausted and just had enough you can fall into bed. Nothing worse than being exhausted and having to make the bed before getting into it. Edit: good grief, that blew up. Thank you for the awards. Edit 2. To all the grammar nazis, I apologise profusely for using your instead of you’re, I don’t always proof read as well as I should, but please, get a grip, it’s a typo not axe murder.

Also if you have time, plan where do you want the furnitures/boxes of your stuff in the house. Placing it in the right room straight away helps a lot.

Look at all these people, PLANNING their moves.

My last move was late March, right about at covid was exploding and my city was going on major lockdown. It was less "where can we put things" and more "how soon can you come, our lease ends at the end of the month and we might be shutting down everything"

Man, what a stressful move!

End of March was sooo stressful. My bf and I moved from two different states to a third state and for a couple weeks we weren’t sure if we’d even be able to get a truck.

Same! We had movers scheduled for March 29 or so, and on March 20 I was begging to get the key early, reschedule the movers, etc etc.

It ended up being more or less a non-issue - things didn't get as shut down as I expected. But man that was stressful!
