Last-Minute Moving Considerations
Your moving boxes are packed, your house is clean and the movers are booked. Is there anything left to do before leaving for your new home? Most than likely, the answer is yes. Here are a few questions to ask yourself before you close your door for the last time:
- Do you have any books that need to be returned to the library?
- How about DVDs to the local Blockbuster?
- Do you have clothes at the dry cleaner or local tailor that need to be picked up?
- Does anybody have a spare set of keys for your house that you need to get back for the new owners?
- Have you written down your new address on a piece of paper? Is that piece of paper in your wallet? Don’t rely on your memory to remember the location, especially if you’re moving to a neighborhood you’re not familiar with.
- Do you have a printed map or a set location in your GPS to help plan your route?
- Did you notify the post office of your change of address?
- Are all your medical and financial records stored away in a folder? Is the folder securely stored inside your handbag? Never pack important papers in boxes to be shipped.
With all the stress of packing and moving, it’s easy to forget the little details. Keep a running list of last-minute things that need to be done in order to make the move as stress-free as possible.
