CHAPTER 9 Organizing Your Move
"Organization isn't about perfection; it's about efficiency, reducing stress and clutter, saving time and money and improving your overall quality of life." - Christina Scalise
Moving is hard work. Whether your move is across the country or within the same area, organization and careful planning will help.
PREPARING YOUR CHECKLIS UR CHECKLISTS
Moving your entire home means that you need to prepare at least two checklists. The first is a checklist of all the items you will be bringing with you, grouped according to the room in which they belong. Indicate the room and number the boxes. This way, you can indicate on your checklist where each item is packed. It will make it easier to sort and identify your things while moving. The second checklist that you need is a list of all the tasks involved in your move, such as packing, labeling, disposing of items not being moved, utility turn-off and turn-on at the new home, and others. No task is too small for your checklist. It pays to be prepared.
