At Calloway Storage, we’ve helped countless families and businesses move smoothly with our portable storage containers. Along the way, we’ve learned that one of the biggest keys to a successful move isn’t just organization — it’s energy. Here are our top tips for staying fueled and energized during your spring move, plus how Calloway Storage can make the entire process easier.
1. Start with a Plan (and Pace Yourself)
One of the quickest ways to burn out during a move is trying to do everything at once. Instead:
- Create a moving timeline at least 4–6 weeks in advance.
- Break packing into manageable daily tasks (one room or category at a time).
- Schedule heavier lifting for cooler parts of the day.
Spring weather can still warm up quickly, especially when you’re carrying boxes. Spreading out tasks keeps you from overexerting yourself.
How Calloway Storage Helps:
With a portable storage container delivered directly to your home, you can pack gradually at your own pace. There’s no rushing to load everything into a truck in one exhausting day. Take your time and move smart.
2. Stay Hydrated — Even in Mild Weather
It’s easy to underestimate dehydration in spring. You may not feel as sweaty as you would in summer, but lifting, bending, and walking back and forth adds up.
- Keep a cooler with water bottles easily accessible.
- Add electrolyte drinks if you’re moving heavy furniture.
- Set reminders to drink water every hour.
Proper hydration keeps your muscles functioning and helps prevent fatigue and headaches.
3. Fuel Your Body with the Right Foods
Moving day isn’t the time for fast food and sugary snacks alone. Quick sugar spikes can lead to crashes right when you need energy most.
Smart moving-day fuel includes:
- Protein-rich snacks (nuts, protein bars, yogurt)
- Complex carbs (whole-grain wraps, oatmeal, fruit)
- Easy-to-grab options like bananas or trail mix
Prep simple meals ahead of time so you’re not scrambling to find food while surrounded by boxes.
4. Get Proper Rest Before Moving Day
Late-night packing sessions may seem productive, but they can leave you drained when it’s time to lift and load.
- Aim for 7–8 hours of sleep.
- Stop packing at least an hour before bed to wind down.
- Set realistic daily goals so you’re not overwhelmed.
Energy starts the night before.
5. Use the Right Equipment to Prevent Fatigue
Repeated lifting without the right tools can exhaust you quickly.
- Use dollies and hand trucks.
- Wear supportive shoes.
- Lift with your legs, not your back.
- Ask for help with heavy items.
Working smarter reduces strain and keeps your energy up throughout the move.
6. Take Strategic Breaks
Short, scheduled breaks every 60–90 minutes can actually increase productivity.
- Step outside for fresh air.
- Stretch your back and shoulders.
- Refuel with water and a snack.
Spring sunshine can be refreshing — use it to recharge.
