On the Day of the Move:
• Pack your beds. Pack away all your bedding, put them in the appropriate (and labeled) boxes, and disassemble all the beds in your home. • Hold a last-minute meeting with your movers. If you’re hiring a moving company, sit down with them and ensure 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 your contact numbers and the new address to every driver in the moving group. • Double-check every room in the house before leaving, making sure nothing is left. • Say goodbye. Turn off all light switches and lock all windows and doors. • Be prompt! Be sure to arrive at your new home before the movers and your helpers. • Inspect your new home. Double-check that all utilities are in working condition. • Clean up your new home. Clean it now, while it’s still empty.
