Millions of people move every year and it is usually the last thing we think about doing. The idea of settling into your dream house may be great but planning a way to get there is not something we usually look forward to. Most people like to waste time worrying about what they might forget, who they should inform about the move and how to make sure everything goes smoothly. Moving does not have to be that stressful. A good plan is all you need to ensure a fast and efficient transition.
The first thing to do is to list down everything that you need to prepare for: packing supplies, movers, budget etc. Don't forget to list down all the people and companies that you need to inform about your new address. Also make an inventory of all the items you have to pack.
Once you are done with your lists, begin collecting packing supplies. Be sure you have boxes of different sizes and cushions for your fragile goods. If you have given yourself enough time, you can pack bit by bit to lessen the work as the moving day comes.
Ask relatives and friends to help you out. Be sure to give them the clear instructions of what to pack and where to put them. If you find items you no longer need, give them away to your friends.
Lastly, don't stress out. There are problems that might come along the way, but you can certainly overcome if you put it in a lighter spirit.
