Make a detailed schedule and a checklist to ensure you’re on time and you aren’t forgetting anything
On a moving day, the only way to ensure things are running smoothly is to have a schedule and a checklist you’ll be checking regularly. That said, you can’t make a schedule just like that. Of course, you’ll plan things according to your own preferences. However, you also have to take into consideration your movers’ schedules.

That’s why you should get everything out of the way. If you don’t do this, your movers will have to do it themselves. Since it’s either that or jumping over furniture and boxes. So be kind to your movers and clear the walkway.
Take care of any last-minute tasks
Another thing you should do to prepare for the arrival of movers is to take care of any tasks that you left for the day of your move. For example, if you still have to seal a few moving boxes, now would be the time to do it. The moment your movers arrive everything should be 100% ready and ready to go. This also includes you, naturally. Make sure you’ve eaten, that you’re dressed, and that you did everything you needed to do to ready yourself for the departure. Not doing this on time is frowned upon and can drag out the moving process.

Preparing properly and doing so on time will make the whole process much more enjoyable for both you and your movers. That’s why you do things the best you can and say “no” to slacking.
