II.
Organise Your Move and Don't Go Crazy in The Process
Moving house can be a very stressful ordeal for a number of good reasons. After
all, your savings will be at risk of getting depleted and your prized possessions
will be at risk of getting damaged in the house moving project.
And as if that weren’t enough, there are so many things to do before moving
away that you’re likely to feel completely overwhelmed by the amount of work
ahead of you.
And partly due to the insane amount of workload while you’re trying hard to
keep everything organized, sometimes you feel like you’re going crazy,
especially when friendly help is reluctant to come to your aid.
Follow these moving tips to be able to move house without losing your mind in
the meantime.
1. Organise your time with a moving checklist
One of the things that might drive you insane while you’re getting ready to
move out is the realization that you’re not using your time efficiently. In other
words, you’ve come to the conclusion that you’re wasting precious time simply
because you’re not sure what to do next.
The thing that should keep your mind at ease is a good moving checklist to
manage your time in the best possible way. You just have to plan ahead every

step of your residential move to prevent confusion, disorganization, and loss of
time during that super-demanding period – both physically and mentally.
NEVER lose time again when moving to a new home – use our interactive
moving checklist as a basis to create a new highly-customized moving timeline.
MOVING TIMELINE: INTERACTIVE WEEK BY WEEK MOVING CHECKLIST
No matter how dire the circumstances, people find it easier to face the challenge
when they have a clear plan to follow and a specific task to focus on. Having a
strategy gives them reassurance and a sense of control, so that they don’t panic
or get stressed. Doing things one step at a time helps them concentrate and
progress faster and more effectively.
So, if you’re about to embark on a tough and overwhelming endeavor, such as a
residential move, you need to make a good plan and break your final goal into
achievable mini-goals you’ll be able to accomplish in a timely and organized
manner. In the event of moving house, your best bet is a detailed moving
timeline – a week-by-week moving checklist that will not only include all the

tasks you need to take care of before moving day, but will also set a specific
timeframe for their completion.
You won’t overlook anything important or forget to do a moving chore
because all the relocation tasks (big and small alike) will be clearly stated
in your comprehensive moving house checklist;
You’ll be able to organize your time in the best possible way, as your
moving packing checklist will let you know exactly what needs to be done
every single month, week, and day before moving day, so that you can get
everything ready in time;
You’ll be able to keep track of your progress as every completed task will
be crossed out in your moving checklist and you’ll know how much you
have left to do.
In a word – a moving out checklist will help you bring order to the relocation
chaos, speed up your moving preparations, and keep stress at bay. It will be
even easier for you though, if you have an interactive moving checklist that will
help you stay on top of things with just a few clicks of the mouse.
For your convenience, we have created an interactive week by week home
moving checklist and planner that spans the 2-month period prior to Moving
day and provides a practical and easy way to organize your relocation and keep
track of your moving preparations.
Make sure you take advantage of our free printable moving checklist when
getting ready for your relocation adventure!
Moving checklist – Two months before Moving day
Ideally, your moving preparations should start about two months prior to the
Big day. This way, you’ll have the time to complete every single task in the long
list of things to do when moving.
‣ Weeks 7 & 8 before the move
Get to know your new area (if you’re moving to a new city). Gather as
much information as possible about the economic situation, cost of living,

climate, housing options, crime rate, educational opportunities, cultural
practices and other specifics of your future area;
Start searching for an appropriate new home for you and your family. If
possible, visit your new area to choose your new property in person;
Start organizing your belongings and decluttering your home for moving.
Sort your items in four categories – things to bring along, things to donate,
things to sell, and things to throw away. Make a moving inventory of the
items you’re going to take to your new home;
Research your moving options and decide if you’re going to move by
yourself or hire professional movers to help you relocate. Make sure you
fill out a moving quote to see what different moving companies have to
offer, so that you can make an informed decision about your move;
If you’re going to use professional moving services, start looking for
affordable and trustworthy moving professionals – ask for
recommendations, read moving reviews, visit moving companies’
websites, etc.;
Get estimates – narrow down your choice to three or four moving
companies that seem to best suit your needs and requirements and ask
them for in-house estimates of the moving costs;
Choose the best movers for you. Provide the moving company
representatives with all the relevant information (show them everything
you want to relocate, discuss possible obstacles, special requirements,
delivery windows, etc.) in order to get accurate moving cost estimates,
compare the offers (prices, services, and conditions), and be careful to
avoid moving scams when choosing your moving partners.
‣ Weeks 6 & 5 before the move
Book your move and confirm all the details (pick-up and delivery times,
payment method, insurance, etc.) with your chosen movers;
Make a moving binder and keep all moving-related documents in it. It
may be a good idea to put all your documents in the same binder (in
separate sleeves or pockets) as well;
Set up a moving budget to organize your finances and keep better track
of your expenses;

Inform your current employer of your move and arrange your first day of
work at your new company in your new area (or start looking for a new
job);
If you’re moving out of a rented property, notify your landlord of your
upcoming move and negotiate a move-out agreement;
Collect yours and your family’s medical records and your children’s
school records. Start looking for a new family physician and a new school
for your kids (if relevant);
Organize a garage sale or post online those of your unwanted items that
you’d like to sell;
Request a list of the non-allowable items your movers won’t load on the
moving truck because of their hazardous or perilous nature and decide
what to do with them (discard them, give them away, relocate them
yourself, or use them up before the move);
Get packing supplies. See if you can get any moving boxes and other
packing materials for free and buy whatever else you need. Make sure
you have high quality packing supplies for your more delicate and more
valuable possessions.
Moving checklist – One month before Moving day
It’s time to set your moving preparations at full speed (just remember to
frequently consult your checklist for moving into a new house to make sure you
don’t miss a moving task).
‣ Weeks 4 & 3 before the move
Donate your unwanted items that are still in good condition (things you
don’t want to sell or couldn’t sell) to local charities. Don’t forget to get
receipts showing the items’ approximate value for possible tax
deductions;
Change your address with the USPS and inform your bank, insurance
providers, lawyers, and other important people and institutions of your
new address;

Transfer utilities (arrange to have electricity, gas and water running in
your new home on move-in day) and cancel memberships and
subscriptions;
Take your pets to the vet for a complete check-up and collect their
immunization records and health certificates. Make travel arrangements
for your animal friends;
Plan your trip to your new home. If you’re driving to your final
destination, get your car serviced and plan for meals and lodgings on the
way (if needed). If you’re flying to your new city, book your flight and find
a trustworthy auto transport company to ship your vehicle;
Start packing. Pre-pack rarely used items, specialized equipment, out-ofseason
clothing and decorations, and everything else you’re not going to
need before moving day;
Set aside the items that will be packed in your essentials box and the
valuables you’re not going to entrust to the movers.
‣ Two weeks before Moving day
Contact your moving company to make sure everything is going
according to plan and discuss any last-minute details;
Pay up any bills or debts you may have. Return library books and
anything you have borrowed from friends or neighbors. Collect any items
you have left for cleaning or repair;
Say your goodbyes. Visit all your favorite places in town and organize a
farewell party to get all your friends together one last time;
Pack the storage areas in your home, as well as most of your artwork,
decorations, books, office supplies, and hobby materials;
Reserve a parking place for the moving truck close to the entrance of your
home, as well as an elevator (if you live in an apartment building) for the
time of your move;
Start using up your food supplies and get rid of any remaining items that
are not going to your new home.
‣ One week before Moving day

Get on with packing. Pack most of your clothes and shoes, kitchen items,
jewelry, kid’s games and toys, and other bric-a-brac;
Make sure you have all the necessary documents and get a lockbox to
keep them safe during the trip to your new home.
‣ Two days before Moving day
Finish packing. Pack any remaining miscellaneous items and doublecheck
your home to make sure you haven’t forgotten anything;
Pack your first-night box and all the items that are going to travel with
you. Keep them separately from your other belongings to make sure they
won’t be accidentally loaded on the moving truck;
Pack your electronics and prepare the furniture and appliances you’re
going to take to your new place for moving.
Moving checklist – Moving day

You will need your focus more than ever when the Big day knocks on your door.
Keep your moving checklist at hand to keep a cool head during this culmination
period of your relocation adventure.
Get ready for the big day. Have a good night’s rest and get up early in the
morning to have enough time for last-minute tasks;
Ensure moving day safety. Take measures to protect your old home from
damage and to prevent accidents and injuries while your items are being
taken out of the property and loaded on the moving truck. Keep kids and
pets away from the moving chaos;
Meet the movers and give them all the necessary information, so that they
can perform your move in a safe and efficient manner. Provide some
snacks and drinks if it will take them more than 3-4 hours to finish the
job. Do not forget to tip them if you’re happy with their services;
Give the truck driver the accurate destination address and your phone
number, so that they can reach you if necessary;
Give your old house or apartment a final cleaning, take a last look around,
lock the door, and start on your journey to your new home.
2. Gather your packing supplies in advance
Starting to pack up your things without having acquired the proper packing
materials by your side is a mistake that will cost you extra lost time and wasted
nerves. In fact, it can be rather frustrating to have to interrupt the packing
process to go look for more cardboard boxes, packing paper or bubble wrap.
To keep your sanity during the toughest and most time-consuming job in your
moving checklist, prepare all the necessary packing supplies in advance so that
things go smoothly and according to plan. Get hold of free moving boxes to save
on packing materials and ease the financial strain on your budget.
3. Start packing as early as possible
One of the major sources of stress when moving house is the thought that you
may not be able to finish packing by the day you’re scheduled to move out. After
all, how are you supposed to move away when you still have many possessions
waiting to be packed safely for the move.

And instead of going crazy with worry on Moving day, surrounded by too many
unpacked boxes, you should do everything in your power to start packing as
early as you possibly can. Don’t underestimate the time it’ll take to pack up your
home – packing the storage areas alone requires much more time than you’ll
think.
4. Declutter your home before packing
Before you start packing for moving though, there’s something you just have to
do to be able to keep your sanity throughout the move – to get rid of old, useless
or unwanted items. Doing so will not only make packing and moving easier for
you, but it’ll also enable you to save big by reducing the transportation costs.
Don’t part with things you love and wish to continue to use in the new place –
everything else you should seriously consider selling for extra cash, gifting to
friends, donating to charity or throwing away for eco-friendly recycling.
Remember: fewer items to pack and move will mean fewer things to worry
about.
5. Label your moving boxes
You might be thinking that not labeling your boxes after you’ve packed them up
will save you a bit of time. On the contrary, not only will that bad decision lead
to hours of lost time after the move is over – when you’re about to start
unpacking in the new home, but it can also drive you crazy when being forced
to open 15 random boxes to find the coffee maker.
Don’t let simple routine packing tasks get the best of you – make sure you label
all boxes with their destination room, contents and handling instructions so
that you can identify those containers more easily later on. It’s interesting how
a black marker and 30 seconds per box can save you from a lot of post-move
headaches.
6. Reduce the stress levels

The infamous stress of moving will start building up from the moment your
move has become only a matter of time. And as Moving day approaches, those
stress levels are likely to spike and may even reach unhealthy values.
Yes, moving house can be a really stressful period (What makes moving so
stressful?), so you should do all in your power to control those stress levels in
order to keep your sanity. Organize your time well, pare down your
possessions, start packing ASAP, ask friends for help and hire a top-rated and
trustworthy mover to reduce stress when moving.
7. Control your emotions
One thing is clear – moving away from everything you know – home, city, and
most importantly, friends – will most likely bring out a potent cocktail of strong
emotions for you. Sometimes such emotions may be hard to control, especially
if you don’t really want to move out but are forced to do so by a number of
external factors.
Surprise, denial, excitement, confusion, fear, sadness, stress, anger, anxiety,
depression – these are only a few of the emotions you may have to deal with
when moving to a new home. Keep reminding yourself that you’re in control of
your own feelings and emotions, and organizing a smooth move will contribute
greatly to your mental equilibrium during that tough transitional period.
8. Get help from your friends
At times, a house move can become so overwhelming that you may get the
unwelcoming feeling that you’re starting to lose your mind in the process. The
truth is that organizing a move often turns out to be too much for one person
to handle successfully, so the solution is more than obvious – get help from your
pals.
It’s very important to know that you have your friends there by your side during
that tough transitional stage. Also, their moral support and physical assistance
will be invaluable for you, especially during the packing and furniture moving
phases.

Make sure you reach out to your friends as early as possible to minimize the
disruption of their own plans.
9. Guarantee everyone’s safety
Property damage during a house move is bad, but it’s even worse to have
personal injuries during the house moving process. The thought alone that
somebody could get hurt when big and heavy furniture pieces are being lugged
around the house and taken out to the awaiting moving vehicle.
Avoid going insane with worry about the safety of your family members and
your helpers. How?
KEEP all exit pathways clear of obstacles,
KEEP small children and pets away from the moving action;
USE proper moving equipment to move heavy objects, and
WEAR appropriate clothes and shoes to prevent injuries.
10. Save money with proven cost-saving techniques
One of the major reasons why residential moving tends to be so stressful is
because a house move can be a rather expensive affair. And whenever your
savings are at risk, it’s only normal that you’d want to spend as little money as
possible to cover the moving expenses.
Keep your sanity when moving by knowing that you’ve done everything you
possibly can to reduce the moving costs as low as they can go. Without a doubt,
the three major ways to save money when moving to another home are:
FIND an affordable mover that still offers high-quality services. Yes, it
does sound like an impossible task, but in reality, it’s quite possible.
GET rid of any items that you no longer want and need to move only the
things that make sense to be moved.
PACK whatever items you can by yourself so that you won’t need to pay
professional movers to do it for you.

Why Some People Feel Overwhelmed When Relocating Or Moving?

There are so many reasons for which people feel overwhelmed while
relocating. You have so many areas to handle that you are already under
immense pressure and then this uncertainty that always hovers over your
mind; Will everything be okay? Will my purpose for the relocation fulfil? Will I
be able to adapt well to the new environment and new people? And a lot more
questions. I can certainly relate to these emotions, as I have gone through this
whole process, and thus am sharing some vital points on why you feel
overwhelmed while relocating. And trust me you are not the only one who feels
so, so open up about it and feel free to talk with your friends and family
members about the same.
IV.
How to Cope With Relocation Depression
It is believed that the toughest stage of a move is the tricky period of dealing
with a post-move phenomenon known as relocation depression.
‣ How can relocation cause depression?
The depression due to relocation is not something that can be touched, or
smelled, or seen, but it surely is a powerful force to be reckoned with. This
unwelcoming physiological state comes as a direct result from leaving your old
life behind – a life where you enjoyed the highly familiar and comforting daily

outine, the unforgettable moments with good and loyal friends, the
unquestionable support of your family and maybe even a greatly satisfying job
you loved.
In other words, the post-relocation depression is your mourning period of the
life you no longer have and could never bring back.
‣ Relocation Depression Symptoms
Here are some of the more typical symptoms of relocation depression that you
need to watch out for once the dust of unpacked moving boxes settles down in
your new house.
Excessive sleep. One of the most common depression symptoms is to find
out that you sleep much more than you normally do. If approximately 8
hours were enough to fully recharge your batteries, then the sudden 12
or more hours of sleep is usually a good indicator that something is not
quite right.
Uncharacteristic tiredness. Waking up tired and devoid of energy even
after a good night’s sleep, and then starting about your day in a painfully
sluggish way as if you were moving underwater could be a sign you’ve
fallen victim of relocation depression.
Unwillingness to leave the house. Are you spending most of your time
inside your home and feel strong reluctance or even fear to step beyond
your doorstep? Do you automatically reject any invitations or
suggestions to go out and do something outside the confines of your
house or apartment? If yes, you may be down with relocation depression.
Lack of desire to socialize. The mere thought of meeting and interacting
with new people sounds very unappealing and even frightening, and you
prefer to spend your days on your own.
Tangible apathy. You exhibit a notable lack of interest in doing anything
special, except maybe sleep and watch TV all day.
It’s hard to know whether the symptoms you’re exhibiting are the result of the
post-relocation separation anxiety or not – it’s possible that you don’t feel your
former self for some other medical reasons. One way to know for sure that

you’re under the influence of this highly undesirable side effect of relocation is
if you feel energized and ready to take the world head-on only when you talk
with your old friends or when you plan a visit to your old home in your old city.
‣ How To Overcome Relocation Depression?
Do not despair if you fear that you may be struggling with separation anxiety,
for there are a number of proven relocation depression strategies to help you
find a way out of your current cul-de-sac and start enjoying your new life as you
should have done by now. Some useful ideas can be found in this concise but
informative article.
Try hard to make new friends
Making new friends may not be a walk in the park, especially if you don’t have
it in you to befriend strangers almost seamlessly like some people do. And yet,
it’s imperative that you do your best. It’s no secret that friends will give you
exactly what you need to break free from your nostalgic post-relocation
sadness.
Get to know your new city
Unfamiliar settings can easily bring about ungrounded fear and darker
thoughts. The solution? Turn the unfamiliar surroundings into more familiar by
exploring your neighborhood first and then your city. Be brave enough to step
outside the illusionary safety of your new residence and you’ll see how fresh
possibilities will open in front of you one by one. Take a walk in a beautiful city
park, dare to go shopping in a crowded shopping district, visit historic city
landmarks and locate important places (hospitals, post offices, police stations,
etc.).
Introduce familiarity to your new home
Some people will probably not understand your nostalgic home interior
recreation and that’s okay. After all, you’re the only one who knows the secret
and highly complicated household arrangement pattern that has the power to
restore your inner harmony and peace of mind.

Keep meaningful relationships alive
Making new friends is probably the most effective technique out there to fight
depression due to relocation. And while your new life is taking you forward, do
not forget to look back and keep in touch with your old pals.
Nowadays, it takes nothing more than a mouse click or a single finger tap to talk
and even see an old friend, so distance is a poor excuse to let great relationships
slip between the cracks of your new reality.
If you do happen to find yourself a bit overwhelmed by your new life, keep
repeating to yourself that sometimes backward is the only way forward.
Do something crazy
If you can’t seem to find a way out of your depressed state of mind, consider
breaking your set daily rhythm and your inner pattern by doing something you
wouldn’t do under normal circumstances. Simply put, do something crazy
(reasonably crazy, of course) like joining a chess club or signing up for yoga or
dance classes or learning how to play a musical instrument. Find yourself new
hobbies and interests to clear your head out of any sad thoughts and help you
meet new interesting people seamlessly.
Give yourself more time
And most importantly, don’t be too hard on yourself. You have just survived a
stressful and testing move which, even without you realizing it, may have
turned your world upside down, broken your daily routine to pieces and
wreaked havoc on your internal biological clock.
Are you familiar with the concept of communicating vessels? Your new postmove
life and your old pre-move life are the interconnected vessels, and you’re
playing the role of the medium between these two entities.
Now, similar to the homogeneous liquid inside interconnected containers
which requires time to balance itself out to the same level inside the vessels,
you also need time to acclimatize properly to the unfamiliar surroundings and
advance slowly but steadily through the adaptation period. You need more

time, so give yourself more time. One little step at a time, just like a baby
learning how to walk for the very first time. Right?
The relocation depression strategies described above will help you find the
right path much faster but the best way to fight the post-move side effect is to
avoid relocation depression altogether. The moment you set foot in your new
home, believe in your inner strength to handle change, use your strong will to
avoid the cleverly set depressing traps, and counterattack the unexpected
enemy with the healing power of positive thinking.
Yes, occupy your mind with positive thoughts and soon you’ll be ready to have
your relocation depression for breakfast. Bon appétit!
V. What Moving Day Mistakes to Avoid?
Moving isn’t most people’s idea of fun. Relocating from one residence to
another takes time, effort, and money, and the process can be highly stressful.
To make your next move easier and less emotionally charged, consider these
eight common moving mistakes and how to avoid them.

1. YOU’RE A PROUD PACKRAT.
Over the years, you’ve collected an impressive treasure trove of clothing, books,
magazines, kitchen tools, and knick-knacks. You’re not quite in hoarding
territory, but no one would ever call you a minimalist. And it took time to amass
all your possessions, so why wouldn’t you move them to your next house?
How to avoid it: Before you pack, spend a few days going through your home,
identifying items that you haven’t used in the last year or two. Getting rid of
unnecessary items is not only mentally liberating, but it can also save you
money and time (since you’ll pay to move less stuff and spend less time packing
and unpacking). Take photos of sentimental items that you no longer need, and
donate or sell anything that you no longer want.
2. PROCRASTINATION IS YOUR MIDDLE NAME.
You know that moving requires tons of planning, but you figure that things will
come together quickly once you get started. After all, how long could it take to
throw your stuff in some boxes and tape it all up?
How to avoid it: Get started early. Relocating requires multiple steps, from
choosing a moving company to preparing your possessions for moving day. Use
a checklist, like Allstate’s Moving Guide, to ensure you don’t forget anything in
the chaos and excitement. And if you’re moving during a busy time of year, such
as spring or summer, you’ll probably need to book your moving company even
further in advance.
3. YOU EQUATE DOING EVERYTHING YOURSELF WITH SAVING MONEY.
You might think that renting a truck and convincing your friends to carry your
stuff will save you a ton of cash. DIY-ing some moves can make sense financially,
depending on the distance you’re moving and how much stuff you’re hauling,
but most moves require the services of a professional moving company.
How to avoid it: Consider what a reputable moving company offers that you
can’t provide if you’re doing all the work yourself. Depending on your contract
with the moving company, you may receive valuation protection, liability
coverage, or some form of insurance, so you’ll be covered (at least partially) if

your items get damaged or lost in transit. Moving companies may also provide
packing services for delicate items or disassembly of large furniture. Moving
across state lines also means that gas and parking costs will add up, and imagine
the aches, muscle strains, and injuries that you can prevent by leaving the heavy
lifting to the professionals.
4. YOU’RE TOO TRUSTING.
If you plan to sit back, relax, and write a check after you’ve picked the cheapest
moving company, you’re being too trusting. Some moving companies may steal
your possessions, be unreliable, or refuse to reimburse you for damage caused
by the move.
How to avoid it: Do your research. Read online reviews, consider advice from
friends, and talk to different moving companies on the phone before deciding
which company is right for you. Ask the moving company if they’re licensed and
insured, and listen closely when they give you a nonbinding estimate. Read your
contract carefully before you sign it, paying attention to extra fees, how much
insurance the company has, and if the company has workers’ comp insurance.
5. YOU SKIMP ON THE BUBBLE WRAP.
By the time you finally get around to boxing up fragile items such as plates and
vases, you might be sick and tired of packing. Putting delicate glassware or
china in some bubble wrap is better than nothing, but letting your laziness win
is a big mistake.
How to avoid it: Get plenty of bubble wrap, cushioning rolls, and tape to
adequately cover your fragile items. It’s better to go slightly overboard with the
padding so you don’t open your boxes in your new home and find shattered
pieces of glass or ceramic.
6. YOU FORGET TO TAKE INVENTORY.
You’ve packed all your stuff in boxes, taking care to bubble wrap delicate items
and not make any one box too heavy. You think you’re good to go, until you
realize that you have no idea what’s inside any of the boxes.

How to avoid it: As you pack, make a list of what you’re putting in each box.
Number the boxes and label their contents, as well as what room of your new
house they should go, so you’ll have a grasp on where your stuff is. Making an
inventory will save time when you unpack and help you ensure that the movers
didn’t leave anything behind. Use an app like Allstate’s Digital Locker before
your move, and you’ll have a list of your possessions on hand should you ever
need to file a claim with your home insurance company.
7. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHERE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH IS.
So your boxes are properly labeled, and you’re feeling supremely organized and
on top of things. But how will you get through your first few nights in your new
residence, especially if you have to wait for utilities to be turned on?
How to avoid it: Pack a suitcase that contains everything you’ll need for the
first few days in your new home. Your toothbrush, toothpaste, cosmetics, toilet
paper, soap, medicine, water bottles, snacks, pajamas, linens, laptop, and pet
food are a few necessary items that you might forget you’ll need immediately.
And don’t forget a pair of scissors—you’ll need them to actually open your
boxes!
8. THE MAIL SLIPS YOUR MIND.
You’ve notified your landlord and utility companies about your move-out date,
but don’t forget about your mail.
How to avoid it: Head to the post office’s website to fill out a change of address
form. Select whether your move is permanent or temporary, choose your start
date (when you want the post office to begin forwarding your mail), and enter
your new address. Luckily, it only costs $1.05 for this service, and you can pay
with a credit card.
VI.
The Final Words
There’s no denying that moving is a mammoth job, but these tips and tricks are
designed to cut the chaos and take the pain out of moving.
