Pack Early
Once you have an idea of when you’re going to be moving, you need to start packing immediately. Packing is a long and tedious process, and you’ll want to chip away at it slowly as you build up to moving day, so you don’t become overwhelmed with it and find yourself trying to pack everything up at the last second.

Plan Out Your Travel Logistics
Your personal belongings aren’t the only thing hitting the road! Whether it’s across the state or across the country, it’s important to figure out how you and your loved ones will be getting to your new home, too.
Regardless of whether you’re driving or flying, you want to secure your travel plans in conjunction with your move so you arrive a little before your belongings do.
Pack Yourself An Essentials Bag
Most of your personal belongings will be packed up and loaded onto a moving truck or shipping container, so you’ll need to make an essentials bag to hold you over while your items are in transit.
This could include anything from personal records to phone chargers, medications, toiletries, cash, and identification.
