For 71% of French people moving is one of the biggest causes of stress *. Between cartons, the risk of breakage, children who heckle, the solicitations of reinforcements, but also the management of pets, moving is, for more than one reason, a source of anxiety. But panicking is not the answer. Here are 5 tips for staying zen .

Anticipate and optimize for a serene move

  1. Prepare a "First Night" card. Toilet paper, medicine, sponge multipurpose cleaner, coffee filters, snack, Swiss army knife. To avoid an umpteenth adrenaline rush, you have all the necessaries of life at your fingertips.
  2. Use a color code. To save time in preparation and unpacking, we use big colored tape, masking tape or stickers: pink = sdb, blue = kitchen, green = room ...
  3. Photograph the connections. History not to poke a crisis when reconnecting our devices, we immortalize the back of the computer or TV on his smartphone and voila. The cables can be stored in rolls of toilet paper or paper towels to avoid meli-melo.
  4. Pack quickly and well. We leave the cutlery in the covered range and we pack everything with plastic film: it's going fast and it does not move. The same principle with clothes: they are left on hangers and slipped in packs of ten in large garbage bags that make good protective covers.
  5. Stop all the holes. Spices in the pressure cooker; kitchen knives in potholders; scarves in handbags ... No place lost and less waste of bubble wrap.
