Unlocking Happiness: How To Turn Moving Into a Dream

The “Happiest Day of the Year” (mark your calendars for June 20th!) just so happens to fall during the prime moving season, a well-known major life event among most Americans. To truly honor this day, we evaluated platform bookings and conducted a national survey on those who are moving or will be moving to dig into how we can help you achieve your “Happiest Day of the Year.” 

Discover how Taskers, along with survey results and advice from a real client, can help you overcome the challenges of moving and create a home that brings you happiness.

The Importance of a Happy Space

Moving into a new home is a great milestone, but it can also be a major source of stress. Although the majority of respondents agree that moving is stressful, they still believe that it is exciting to decorate a new space.

The results show that a happy home can positively impact your overall well-being, with 90% of Americans feeling that it is important for their home to be a happy place. Various interior design choices can also positively impact your mood (48%)—below are the most voted tasks that may help boost those serotonin levels!

Creating a happy space holds a significant value that Taskers in categories like Cleaning, Electrical Help, and Indoor Painting, can give and provide an even greater sense of contentment.

What Does That Happy Space Look Like?

Meet Brigette Muller, a content creator known for her expertise in home interiors, who books local Taskers to help with her Brooklyn apartment projects. 

One of those projects included transforming a blank wall inside her apartment into a beautiful one full of painted shelves. The Tasker she booked used precision to meticulously measure, cut, and turn the wood materials into the exact built-in look that she envisioned.

“Prior to the task, I felt really ‘blah’ about the space. It just felt bare, like it was missing something. I felt pretty unsettled,” she says. “After the task was completed, the space had a whole new feel. It felt intentional, expansive, and beautiful. Every time I look at the shelves, I feel inspired, content, and at ease. This space is now one of my favorite spots in the apartment. It really is the best feeling.”

Brigette shares insight on how skilled Taskers can help bring a vision of happiness to life.

“I usually have a vision and know exactly how I want something to look, but I have no clue how to get it to look that way,” she says. “In my experience, Taskers bring the tactical knowledge and skill for actually bringing the vision to life in a tangible way. They can also help brainstorm different outcomes and help you decide exactly which direction to take with the space.”

Her most creative vision to date?

“The biggest creative hack ever is my TV! I worked with a Tasker to mount it on a wall arm that I can pull out and up to position the TV perfectly in front of my shelves when I want to use it, and then push it back down and against the wall when not in use.”
