How to Have Fun When Moving Home

The process of moving home can be a stressful and difficult time for many, which is exactly why you should do everything that you can to make it fun and entertaining instead. After all, if you can make the moving process more enjoyable, then there is no real reason why you shouldn’t be able to get everything done and have fun at the same time. Win-win.

With that in mind, this article aims to outline some of the ways in which you can help to make the process of moving a more entertaining way to spend your time.

Make Up Games

Gamifying some of the duller moving tasks can be a great way to help keep yourself entertained while getting through the work that you need to do. After all, the human mind thrives on gaming and competition, so anything you can do to make the work of moving closer to a game will help to make it more fun.

For example, you could try to turn the process of packing rooms into a game like Tetris. The more items you can fit into a box, and the more perfectly they fit the space you put them in, the better you are doing in this game.

Have a Competition

Of course, gamifying in general works better with company, so try to pull anyone moving with you into the games as well. If you’re moving alone, call up some friends and get them to help you pack so that they can play packing games with you.

That sense of competing is important to the fun of the games you are playing, and you can even lean further into it in other ways.

One idea could be to race each other while packing. Whoever can pack up a room’s boxes fastest – without ruining the boxes – wins. Not only would that idea help you to leverage the spirit of competition to have more fun, but it would also help you to get through the work faster too – which is also helpful.

Another way to engage with this idea of competition is through dares or challenges that you pose to one another. This could be helpful for making tasks such as booking services more entertaining. For instance, you could challenge a friend to hire a removals company – such as shiply.com – without saying any word with the letter ‘E’ in it.

Although, you should be careful – when engaging with challenges like this – not to inconvenience any of the workers you run into.

Do Other Activites that You Enjoy

You might also be able to make the process a little more entertaining by simply doing the activities that you enjoy alongside the moving process. For example, packing boxes might be more fun if you are listening to your favourite music while you work; and writing up plans might be more entertaining if you watch a good TV show while you work.

Ultimately, the idea is to find little ways to bring fun and entertainment into the whole process. So, anything that you can do to make your move just a little more enjoyable is going to help out – whether you are listening to a good audiobook or dancing around with your friends.
