Organizing A Nearly Stress Free Move Part 1

There is a reason why organizing a move is included on the official psychologist stress test, right up there with getting a divorce and dealing with death. Moving is especially stressful for people because there is just so much to keep in mind. Getting all the moving tips you can is essential. Do I have everything I need? Do I have enough boxes? What if I forget something important?
Your move begins about a month in advance of the official moving date because you will have to change your mailing address with utility companies, businesses or other important agencies. Call the utility company and arrange a date for your services to be shut off. Go through your home and try to evaluate your possessions. You will need to know how much you have so that you can get enough boxes and a big enough moving truck for transport. Some items are not worth taking with you, so evaluate carefully and give away whatever you cannot take with you.
