Why it is important to use a moving checklist
Posted 03/27/10
I think the most important reason to use a moving checklist is that it cuts down on stress, and if you are experiencing less stress, you are more likely to make better decisions the first time. The reason a moving checklist cuts down on stress is simple; there are a LOT of things you have to keep track of when you are moving, and if you are trying to do that off the top of your head instead of using an organized list, you are sure to have difficulty with this, and you will probably make mistakes that could have been avoided, had you only used a moving checklist to keep things in order.When I make a moving checklist, I separate it into sections, one for hiring outside people to do work for me, one for things I have to do myself, and one for completing specific stages of the moving process (such as the hiring process, the itinerary process, and the actual execution of the move itself). By making a detailed moving checklist, you provide yourself with a game plan to make your move happen in the most efficient, cost effective, timely manner possible, and we all know that that is the best kind of move in which to be involved.
If you have never made a moving checklist before, a few simple internet searches can help you figure out how to make one; consider searching for "moving checklist first time guide", or something like that, and I bet you will find just the type of information you are looking for to help you organize and execute the best move you are capable of assembling. It just takes a little passion, a little patience, and a little elbow grease, but if you put the time in, you are sure to get the results you want, just do not rush and consider each step carefully as you go!
