- Take care of small children and animals in advance. Ask for help from family or friends so that nothing distracts you on the day of the move;
- Is there a previous store in a new location or will you have to look for a replacement? Make sure to check stores, clinics, gyms, post offices, banks. Also, do not forget to check subscriptions;
- Make sure every box has a label on it. It’ll accelerate packing;
- Your address appears in the documents, so you have to update the driver's license, identity card, and other documents within a specific time frame;
- Sort the things by following basic categories:
- Pills and other medication;
- Cables, wires, and chargers;
- Important items for children. For example, favorite toy;
