Things You'll Need:
- boxes
- tape
-
Step 1
Collect as many free boxes and newspapers from friends and relatives, so that you keep the cost of packing to a minimum.
-
Step 2
Make a list of all the addresses that you will need to change, credit cards, magazines, etc... (Start calling them as so as you can)
-
Step 3
Contact utilities to let them know that you will be either moving the service or canceling their service.
-
Step 4
Contact a moving company and secure a date to move.
-
Step 5
Start packing things that you do not use on a regular basis. Remember to finish one room before moving on to another.
-
Step 6
Remember to label what is in each box so that when you get to your new home unpacking will be less stressful and more organized.
-
Step 7
As you are packing go through your items and get rid of anything you do not need. If you have a lot of stuff you would like to get rid of, you may want to have a yard sale and then donate what is left over to a charity.
-
Step 8
Finally, pack all the stuff you use on a regular basis and have you mail forwarded to your new address.

on 6/23/2009 That looks like a pretty good list of how to prep for a move. Sounds like you've done it once or twice before. Good article.
