• For many people, moving can be incredibly

  some ways to reduce this stress and ensure you

  number one youre going to need some
  professional help. Hiring professional movers is
  perhaps the most effective way to reduce your
  moving stress. Check out some of the other ways

Pack Early

• Packing can be one of the most tedious parts
  of moving, and packing at the last minute can be
  even more tedious, frustrating and stressful.
  Start packing at least six to eight weeks before
  you plan to move.

• Purchase and gather more packing supplies
  than you think youll need, then get to work.
  Plan to pack in stages, and begin by packing
  items you dont use every day. This will make the
  job of packing less stressful, less time
  consuming and less tiring.
• Remember to dispose of any hazardous
  materials and flammables, which can be dangerous
  on a moving van. Before you begin packing, ask
  your mover for a list of items you cannot pack or
  place on the van.

5
Get Organized

• Staying organized can help you a lot during a
  move. Make a comprehensive checklist in advance,
  and mark off the tasks as theyre completed. You
  might even consider creating a moving file or
  binder to hold all your moving related documents.
  Remember to include documentation of all the
  names, numbers and emails of your contacts, as
  well as any correspondence you have with the
  movers and others about your move. Additionally,
  include any receipts, contracts, terms and other
  information related to the move.

Make Notifications and Obtain Your Records

• Checklists come in handy, because there are
  many things to do during a move, including making
  notifications and obtaining certain records. For
  an out-of-town move, ensure you obtain copies of
  medical, dental, veterinarian and school records.

• Additionally, ask your current providers for
  recommendations for providers in your new town or
  city. Notify your insurance company and bank
  about your move, also, so that your insurance
  coverage can be moved to your new home. Plan to
  have your utilities, such as cable,
  telecommunication, Internet, hydro and water
  disconnected when you move and reconnected at
  your new home. Cancel pre-scheduled services,
  such as housekeeping, gardening and more.
  Finally, file for a change of address at the post
  office and change your mailing subscriptions to
  the new address.
