• Bring out the boxes and start packing the items you will not be using in the coming weeks. Label the boxes with the room the items belong. This will make unpacking systematic. • Make a list of the items that go in each box. You could also take pictures so you will know where to find each item. • Decide on whether you are going to hire a moving company to help you or if you will do it yourself. If hiring, now is a good time to finalize the details of your big move. • Enlist the help of family and friends. Let them know when they can come and help you with packing, or with unpacking. • Update all personal documents that include your address. Notify your employer, banks, and insurance companies of your change in address.
TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE B RE THE BIG MOVE
• Clean up every room once you have packed all the items in it. • Disassemble furniture that you will not be using in the following days and pack or prepare for moving. • Set aside all items that you will not be needing, and schedule for a pickup by the local Salvation Army or any organization you decide to donate them. If you are planning on a garage sale, now is the perfect time to do that. • File your leave from work for the days that you will be concentrating on the move. 94
