- 1.Write down each part of the moving process in a notebook, including phone numbers, names and appointments.
- 2.Keep appointments also on a calendar.
- 3.Use non-printed newsprint to wrap breakable pieces. Wrap each loosely in one or two sheets.
- 4.Use other things around the house to protect breakable items. For example, put place mats between dishes and wrap crystal in dishcloths.
- 5.Instead of trying to move full-grown plants, take a seedling from those you like. Give the plants away to friends who help you.
- 6.Put heavy items on a rug to make moving them across a hardware floor easier.
- 7.Make notes on boxes to simplify placement in the new home.
- 8.If moving with pets, be sure to keep track of them at all times. When moving across state lines or internationally, check with the authorities for any pet restrictions and regulations.
- 9.Pack all necessities (toiletries, medicine, aspirin, contact solution) in one box, so it will all be easily accessible.
- 10.Pack an emergency overnight bag with a change of clothes and any emergency numbers you might need.
