Plan it out
It doesn’t matter if you write longhand on a piece of paper, type it on your computer, or carve it into a rock, writing down everything you need to get done before, during, and after your move is an important step to make sure that nothing is overlooked. It also prevents you from skipping things, and having to backtrack in the middle of your preparations. At this stage it doesn’t need to be anything fancy, just write down everything you need to do, and add to it as things come up. Things like putting in a change of address, deposits, shopping lists, your new address, a packing schedule, and pertinent phone numbers can all go in one place that’s easy to find.
Talk to your local movers
Call your local Plano movers as early on in the moving process as you can, especially during the busy season of summer and fall. Go over your budget, schedule, and volume of things that need to be moved. They are a great resource for any questions you have about moving, or local businesses, neighborhoods, and even schools! Since they live locally in the Plano area, they are very knowledgeable about anything going on in town. The earlier you call, the easier it will be to get your pick of dates and times so that you can alter your own schedule as little as possible.
Make a list

Then, add each item to your calendar to make sure you don’t wind up with a huge amount to do all at once. Moving is best spread across as many days as possible, so it doesn’t take as much time out of your day to day life. It may be easier for you to have separate lists for to do, shopping, and phone numbers. When everything is written down, it’s easy to see at a glance what’s been accomplished and what still needs to be done.
