Make a Moving Checklist

When you decide to make a move to a new location, the first thing you should do is sit down and make a list of everything you can think of about the move including what to pack, what goes to storage, what will be thrown away, announcing your move, transferring utilities, moving with children and/or pets, floor plan of new location, choosing a mover, arrangements for any home repairs at new and old locations, moving truck rentals, garage sale, moving day helpers, and any thing else specific to your move.

Planning ahead will help you get everything you need done in a timely and efficient manner.
