In order to decrease stress, the more time you give yourself preparing for the move, the less stress you will have during the move. Here are some things to think about well ahead of time (a couple months in advance if you can), in order to reduce stress, stay organized, and stay calm.
- Make a moving file so all your move information is in one place.
- Make the decision: Will you hire a moving company or move yourself?
- If you are hiring company do your research and hire a moving company.
- If you are making a long-distance move, check to see if there are any special considerations you need to make like arranging for auto shipping.
- Set up a moving budget.
- Do some research on the area you will be moving to and research local schools.
- Find new care providers, like doctors, child care, for you and your family.
- Look into transferring any school or medical records.
- Make a list of who to notify about your move and when. This is a list of friends, creditors, doctors, schools, and any church or professional organizations.
- Start gathering and purchasing moving supplies and moving boxes.
There are plenty of moving checklists and timelines available with the intention of a stress free, or at least, stress free move. In order to set up an appointment for an in home estimate, contact Marathon Moving.
