• Make sure that all your boxes are properly packed and numbered, even color-coded by room if possible. This will help you immensely in the unpacking process. Make sure there are labels on the top and sides of the boxes. • Prepare a snack bag for moving day. Make sure to bring lots of water and high energy food to sustain your strength while moving. • Have your checklists and pens ready with you in your bag. • Clean up your refrigerator, stove, and other kitchen appliances. Make sure most of the food in the fridge will be consumed by moving day. • Make sure all your items for donation or gifting are picked up or delivered to their new owners. • Check that all utilities are already working properly in your new home. • Prepare several pieces of paper or post-it notes with your new address and your contact numbers to be given to your movers or to your entourage on moving day.
ON THE DAY OF THE BIG MOVE
• Pack away your beddings and disassemble all the beds in your home. • Have a last-minute meeting with your movers, if hiring any, and make sure they know how you want things to be done. Inform them of the box labels, where each box must go, and how they should be loaded. Make sure all your items are loaded and nothing gets left behind. • Distribute your post-it notes with contact numbers and the new address to every driver in the moving group.
