So, you’ve finally decided that long distance moving is the best option. Whether it’s for a new job opportunity, a change of scenery, or simply a new chapter in your life, the prospect of relocating can be both exciting and daunting. But fear not! With careful planning and organization, you can navigate the process smoothly and minimize stress along the way.
Week 8: Lay the Foundation
First things first: it’s time to create your moving roadmap. Firstly, begin by establishing a “Move File” to keep track of all the essential paperwork and information you’ll need throughout the process. This file should include vendor quotes, reservations, receipts, and personal documents such as medical records, school records, and legal documents. Having everything in one place will serve as your guiding light as you embark on this journey.
Additionally, take this time to research your new home town. Reach out to the local Chamber of Commerce for a new resident packet, which will provide valuable information to help you settle into your new community.
