At least not in this life, that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And did you know that a house move provides the perfect setting for your innate ability to surprise yourself? Super-useful things you never thought you knew. Crazy-practical skills you never suspected you had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And there\u2019s just no way you may have forgotten that you\u2019ve worked as a professional mover, right? Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But here\u2019s the best part: you may have worked as a professional mover in a previous life<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, how crazy is that?!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are the 10 signs that you must have been a professional mover in your previous life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One good hint that you must have been a professional mover in your previous life is that you take pride in your exceptional organizational skills and you always follow a moving checklist down to a T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Professional movers do understand that proper organization can be the difference between a hugely successful house move and a fairly disastrous one. And somehow you too seem to have grasped the moving checklist concept. Who told you that amazing house moving tactic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n You refuse to start working on your move-related tasks before you have a super-detailed moving checklist in your hands that will<\/p>\n\n\n\n It can be really useful to be able to remember all the lessons you\u2019ve learned from past lives, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The greatest moving checklist of all time<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Packing for a move is a serious task that should be taken seriously. After all, nobody wants to find some or most of their valuable possessions damaged and broken beyond repair after the move is over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You look at all the extra-fragile and super-delicate items in your home – kitchen plates and various pieces of chinaware, glasses and cups, pictures and mirrors, lamps, jewelry pieces, sensitive electronic devices (TV, desktop computer, monitor, printer) – and you\u2019re sure that there is no way you can protect those breakables for a move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And yet, before you know it, you\u2019re<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seriously though, who taught you the best way to pack fragile items for moving?<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to pack fragile items for moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Even without any move-related experience, you still manage to surprise yourself by taking a black marker and labeling each moving box the minute you pack it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You realize that you label those cardboard boxes by instinct, without even thinking about it. Strangely, your hands seem to know exactly what to write on those packing containers as if they had done it countless times before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And then it hits you – you must have been a professional packer in one of your previous lives. That\u2019s right, it can be the only explanation as to why you\u2019re labeling box after box with the flawless technique of a person who has been trained rigorously in the art of packing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You realize you have a long-term muscle memory for labeling boxes when packing for a move, and that\u2019s really odd because you don\u2019t remember doing it before that moment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to label boxes for moving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re moving out for the first time and yet you do exactly what an experienced professional mover would do. What\u2019s going on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only do you know the main difference between a furniture dolly and an appliance dolly, but you also seem to know perfectly well how to use a moving dolly to move heavy and large items out of the home and then load them onto the moving truck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Professional movers rely heavily on moving dollies, and apparently, so do you. Just out of nowhere, you are well aware<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving Dolly Handling used to be a secret skill mastered and shared only among top professional movers. Not anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving equipment you must have when moving<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you noticed how professional movers always work in teams? Even if there are only a couple of movers working on your move, they are a team and will be handling the majority of strenuous tasks together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And even though you\u2019ve never worked as a professional mover, you also seem to understand the notion that many hands will not only make light work, but will also make the work safer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, you decide to reach out to your friends for assistance rather than run the risk of injuring yourself or inflicting property damage when you try to handle it all by yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, with all the house moving experience you\u2019ve gained from a past life, you<\/p>\n\n\n\n Still want proof that you were a relocation expert in a previous life? You do understand the power of teamwork!<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to get friends to help you move<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the top secrets of professional movers is how they are able to lift and carry heavy items day in and day out without getting injured. And strangely enough, you also seem to know that well-kept secret even though you don\u2019t remember anyone teaching you the proper lifting techniques. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Without a doubt, getting injured in any way is the worst thing that can happen during a house move\u2026 but not to you, not when you know these special techniques for moving heavy objects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s right, you must have been an experienced mover in a previous life because you<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unless you\u2019ve been trained as a moving professional, there\u2019s just no way you can be familiar with all those safety tips when moving heavy items. And yet you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving day is the most chaotic and unpredictable period during a move. And unless strict safety measures are taken, the day of the move tends to come with a number of both obvious and hidden dangers for everyone involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At first, you appear to be genuinely worried about everyone\u2019s safety and wellbeing, but on the morning of the Big day, you suddenly start showing a deep understanding of what Moving day safety is all about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You have no idea how you may have acquired that safety expert knowledge but your timely actions do succeed in keeping you, your family and even your pets perfectly protected against injuries and accidents of any kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tips to avoid injuries during a move<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n As soon as you start working on your move-related tasks, one thing that you notice is that you keep finishing those tasks way too fast, without compromising safety in any way. And you begin to feel more and more perplexed as you keep tackling a job after job, for such uncanny efficiency is only displayed by reputable movers with many years of relocation experience, not from a person who has little to zero moving experience (hint: you).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, you feel genuinely baffled as to why, all of a sudden, you are able to work efficiently like a professional mover. And there\u2019s only one logical explanation to the mystery: you really must have been a pro movers in your previous life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whoever thought that a non-professional could ever match the practical efficiency of professional movers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The mere fact that you recognize the hard work by your moving team may be a sign that you were a professional mover a few lifetimes back and you know exactly how the hired laborers feel when they put maximum effort into your house move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people can get seriously stressed out whether they should tip their movers or not. However, you know perfectly well that there isn\u2019t any dilemma to solve because<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tipping movers is a personal choice that will depend on many variables. Now, how much to tip movers? Well, that\u2019s easy because you should remember that very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How much to tip movers: Be smart when tipping movers<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n If there was any doubts whether or not you had been a mover in a previous life, those doubts will be put to rest end the minute you show your rich repertoire of packing and moving tricks that only true professionals can possess. <\/p>\n\n\n\n How could you else know any of the following movers\u2019 tricks and hacks?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clearly, it\u2019s impossible to know the above packing and moving tricks\u2026 unless you were either a professional mover in one of your previous lives or you\u2019re a regular visitor to our Moving Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you ever wondered how you get to know specific things and possess certain skills that you are 100% sure that you never learned in your life?
