So you've decided to make a move. Are you ready to box up everything you own - all the possessions that mean "home" to you and your family - and ship them to another part of the country? It's no wonder that moving is ranked among life's most stressful events. However, with the proper planning and preparation, you can make your next move a smooth one. "Moving doesn't have to be such a chaotic event," says Mayflower Transit moving expert Sara Surface. "Doing things in an orderly manner will save time, money and lots of stress." A good way to reduce stress is to develop a calendar that starts six weeks before your move. This calendar will serve as your "countdown" to moving day.
