The Secret to a Stress-Free Move
*taps mic* Is this thing on?
Hi! It’s been a minute…or a few years! What a ride it’s been since the last blog post back in 2021, both personally and professionally: The Joyful Sort has grown and changed so much, from expanding to our current team of six incredible Organizers to taking on more large scale projects and partnerships. My boys are definitely not so little anymore (starting middle school and high school this year, respectively - how?!) and our house has both undergone a minor renovation and gained and lost a few beloved pets.
Throughout it all, we’ve been fortunate to continue to work with so many amazing families here in the Columbus area, helping them simplify their homes and lives. One of our most popular services has become move management: helping clients move into a new home, whether it’s a new-to-them home relocation or a new build, and setting them up with beautifully organized systems from the get-go.
Moving soon? Don’t do it alone!
Just this week I received some fun feedback from our last move management family: “Best move ever!” and it got me thinking - how many people can say that about what is typically considered to be one of life’s most stressful events?
Unpacking and organizing projects have become some of my absolute favorites for that very reason. Any relocation involves a lot of moving parts and pieces (pun intended), but imagine the difference with this kind of support throughout:
Stress-free sorting: One of the hardest parts about moving is deciding what comes with you to the new space and what to part with. We’ll help you through the process of decluttering and donating items you no longer need to help lighten your load (literally!) and ensure that what’s coming over to your new home is coming with intention.
Packing prep: There are some incredible moving companies here in Columbus, but that’s not to say we haven’t seen our share of boxes that have fallen victim to having the contents of an entire drawer dumped in loose, bathroom items packed with things that actually belong in the mudroom, or even a half-eaten loaf of banana bread (seriously). Our team can help categorize and prep items for packing so that nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
Unpacking and organizing: On average, it takes people six to nine months to fully unpack into a new home. Our team can cut that timeline down to a matter of days, not only unpacking your belongings but also creating organizational systems that will allow you to settle in quickly and easily.
Emotional support: Moving is an emotional rollercoaster. We’re there to offer support, encouragement, and reassurance as you navigate the relocation process. Moving doesn’t have to be a nightmare experience, but rather a new chapter and fresh start to feel excited about!
Our moving assistance scope is totally custom and flexible to the client’s specific needs. The goal is just to take as much load off of their shoulders as possible! Whether it’s just the kitchen and pantry, a few priority hotspots, or the whole home, we’re there to help.
If you’re planning a move to or within Columbus, let’s chat and make this your own best move ever!
