□ Get organized. Start well in advance and make proper planning a priority.
□ Downsize - decide if you really need all that stuff. One person's junk is another's treasure.
□ If you're not going to do it all yourself you'll want to find a reliable professional mover, so start asking people you know for referrals. Some other options available today are pods, and load consolidators. Always get written estimates. Do your homework and check the mover's safety performance record and verify that they are insured and properly licensed.
□ Turn in a change of address form to make sure
everyone who needs your new address has it.
□ Pay attention to small details like comparing
the doorways and hallways at your next house.
You may need to sell or donate furniture.
□ Think inside the box. Scrounge around for
free packing boxes or find a local vendor that
offers good cheap ones!
□ If you are going to self-move, you'll need
to gather all the help you can get. Enlist the aid
of friends and family members willing to pitch in,
preferably strong ones. Hiring day laborers may be
another attractive money-saving alternative.
□ A pickup may be fine for small cross town moves but for anythng more major you'll need to rent a
vehicle adaquate to the task. For the inexperienced, driving a large moving truck can be a challenging experience. Be realistic about your own capabilities and limitations.
□ For the homeowner, there'll be last minute repairs, home improvment tasks, landscaping, and
staging to be done before your house is ready to sell. If you are renting, you'll need to thoroughly
clean before you can get your deposit back.
□ Don't forget to include a sense of humor in your packing list. Give thanks to modern technology
for making this transition so much easier than it used to be in times past. Have a gratitude attitude.
It's only just stuff, and after all, you can't take it with you when you go. Acknowledge that your stress
is only temporary and try to keep some perspective.
