would like to use each space, and consider how to best express your style throughout your new residence. You could even create a vision board, a collage of images and ideas representing your ideal living space, to plan out each room's design. This can help you imagine the potential within your new walls and get excited about the possibilities. It needs careful planning whether the move is across cities or within the same area. It involves a lot of work, from sorting to packing, labeling, unpacking, and arranging all your “stuff ” in your new home. Unfortunately, most of us have to experience it at some point. It’s a necessity that can hardly be avoided or ignored. Luckily, with some help and resources, the stress can be minimized, and the possible problems can be avoided. As with most tasks, organization and careful planning are key to moving. A checklist will help you remain organized when sorting, labeling, and packing your things.
PREPARING YOUR CHECKLIS UR CHECKLIST
Moving your entire home means you must prepare at least two checklists. The first is a checklist of all the items you’ll bring, grouped according to the room to which they belong. In addition to indicating the room, it’s a great idea to number the boxes. You can indicate where each item is packed on your checklist. It will make it easier to sort and identify your things while moving. The second checklist you need is a list of all the tasks involved in your move, such as packing, labeling, disposing of items not being moved, turning utilities off where you live, and turning utilities on at the new home. No task is too small for your checklist. It pays to be prepared - a moving binder is a great idea.
