Plan Ahead

• Create a Moving Timeline: Break tasks into weekly milestones
• Set a Budget: Account for moving costs, including transportation, packing supplies, insurance, and temporary accommodation if needed.
• As you’re packing up the kitchen, keep a list of items you throw away and will want to replace at your new home.
• Make a shopping list of essentials you’ll want to buy immediately
• Cable boxes or modems that may need to be returned to the cable company
Pack an “In-Between” Kit
Here are a few tips that helped me successfully move and enjoy the time between pick-up and delivery.
• Invest in sturdy boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and labels.
• Start with non-essential items and leave essentials for last. Mark boxes with their contents and destination rooms.
• And also include items like toiletries, clothes, important documents, and electronics you’ll need immediately upon arrival.
• Leave out any clothes you want to bring with you for the “in-between” time.
• Sheets, pillows, air mattresses
• A pot and pan
• A set of dishes or plan for paper plates and plastic utensils
Notify Key Parties
• Change Your Address: Update your address with the post office, banks, subscriptions, and any relevant organizations.
• Transfer Utilities: Schedule the disconnection and reconnection of utilities at both your old and new homes.
• Inform Schools/Employers: Notify your children’s schools and your workplace about the move.
Plan for Transportation
• Personal Vehicle: If you’re driving, plan your route, book accommodations, and have your car serviced.
• Shipping Vehicles: Arrange for vehicle transportation if you’re not driving to your new location.
Settle in Smoothly
• Unpack Strategically: Start with essentials like kitchen items and bedding.
• Explore Your New Area: Take time to familiarize yourself with your new neighborhood and nearby amenities.
