What are the benefits of your participation in the move
- You save on the cost of the move
- You can enjoy your move and your new home
- You get a chance to make yourself familiar with the movers and their services
- In case there are any problems that arise, you can address it yourself and save money. This is possible due to the fact that you can view the processes at work.
- By participating in the move, you get to break down the entire project into its components and then move and help with the move more efficiently in the future. To describe the move, try the BPMN2 business notation. And to take an inventory of your stuff, try Excel and read about how to fill out ERP and take inventory. In our article ‘How to organize your moving day (checklist and spreadsheet). 48 things you should check before you move’ – you can get a lot of ideas on how to prepare for your move as independently as possible.
- You will gain an understanding of how to do the work of a loader, at least approximately. Such a rudimentary skill can come in handy in difficult life situations. Trace how to squat properly, how to make rope handles in order to lift a heavy box and the like.
- If you have ever participated in any other project or task, then you are aware of the importance of having a supervisor who monitors what is being done on the job and helps you with any problem that arises. You also learn how to handle the situation when you are dealing with movers and you know what they are doing. This will come in handy later.
- Perhaps personal involvement will bring you a sense of accomplishment and an absence of feeling that you forgot something, at the expense of the saving thought ‘because I checked everything…’.
- You can also learn about moving and packing materials, and how to pack them properly.
- Finally, participating in the move can be a great opportunity to bond with family and friends who can help you with the move.
What are the disadvantages of your involvement in the move
- Waste of your resources such as time and energy.
- You may be exposed to dangers due to working with heavy and large objects.
- You may be liable for any damage to items that you are transporting.
- You may not be insured in the event of an accident during the move.
- You may need to acquire some professional packing and moving materials which could be expensive.
- You may not be able to keep track of the entire operation, and you may get the feeling that you are out of control.
- You may not be able to use the same techniques that professional movers use every day. And this can lead to back pain either immediately or as time passes. The back is quite insidious.
- You may not be able to get the best results in terms of the time it takes to move. Professional movers are very experienced and can move faster.. when they are not distracted. Scientists have even conducted experiments on how programmers’ productivity and memory decrease when they are suddenly asked something in the middle of their work.
- You may not enjoy the process as much as you would a professional mover who has done this many times before.
- Finally, you may feel like you are not doing the best job possible and may have to do some of the work over again. For example, packing boxes.
In conclusion we can see that although there are some advantages to your participation in the move, there are also some disadvantages that should be considered when making the decision to join your moving company. Ultimately, it is up to you to decide whether or not you should be a part of your move.
