Make your move run smoothly by planning ahead Preparing for a move is not easy. Whether you're relocating to a house down the street, across town, or to another city, moving is a major undertaking which requires effective planning and organization. One of the major stumbl- ing blocks to a smooth move is procrastination. If you're like a lot of people, you don't like to pack too much too far in advance in case you might still need to use cer- tain items before you ac- tually move. Although it's frustrating to have to look through boxes to find items you've packed in advance, it's even more frustrating to run around at the last minute frantically pitching things into boxes and bags just as your moving truck pulls into your driveway! Where to Start Start preparing as soon as your moving date is con- firmed. Make advance ap- pointments for the final reading of your gas meter and other utilities. And don't forget to make ar- rangements for the utilities at your new home to be hooked up prior to your arrival. You should also try to book a moving van or truck as soon as possible. Keep in mind that long summer weekends are generally the most popular times of the year to move, and it may be very difficult to book a mover on short notice. In an effort to save money, many people are op- ting to handle their moves themselves by renting mov- ing trucks (depending on the number of possessions they have and the distance involved). If you choose this route, make sure that you or someone in your family "knows how to operate a truck (some come with automatic transmissions), and read over the rental agreement very carefully to make sure you are ade- quately insured. If you plan to hire a mov- ing company to do the job, 'shop around and compare rates. Some moving com- panies offer innovative moving packages. You should also send out change of address cards before your move and make arrangements with the post office to have your mail redirected to your new home, starting on your moving date. If you're mov- ing out of town, make sure you have your children's school transcripts transferred.
