Start planning your move 6-8 weeks in advance, if you do not want to rush through it. This is period when you decide the items that you need to move along, the items you need to store, and the ones you need to discard etc. Contact Movers, neighborhood grocers, supermarkets and collect packing materials. Be sensitive to the different packing needs of your belongings.

File all the receipts associated with the Moving in a dossier. Most of the expenses occurred while Moving, are exempted from taxes, hence please keep the receipts safe.

Gather information on your new neighborhood, city, state or the country. Arrange for hotel rooms, flight tickets, and car rental bookings that you may need during the move. Be prepared to accommodate changes in your schedule. Apply for various certificates which you may need to produce later.
