Relocations/Move Ins

* If you want to keep something just because it's been in the family a long time, maybe another family member can use it.

* Depersonalize your home before you put it on the market so prospective owners can see their own things there.

* Get rid of clothes that no longer fit.  When you do lose that 20 pounds, you are going to want to buy something newer and more stylish anyway.

* Don't leave anything behind.  If there is something you can't take with you, give it away, don't put it in storage.

* Pack the things you will need immediately and keep them with you.  Even if the moving truck arrives immediately, you don't want to have to dig through boxes for clothes or food the first few days.

* Label each box with what room it will go into in the new house, not where it came from.  If all the books from the bedroom are moving into a new library, mark the box library not bedroom.

* Set up the kitchen and bathrooms first.  Labels are a good idea.  Temporary ones are also good so the homeowner and anyone helping him/her can know where to place things.

* Every shelf and drawer needs a theme i.e. pots and pans near the stove, canned goods go on a shelf, the breakfast food another, snacks have their own place.

* Each kitchen needs to be organized for the particular family.  Not all organizing is the same.  For example, if there are children, the items they will use should be stored at the correct level so they can take them out and put them back.

* Linen closets are important to organize, too.  Be realistic about how many sets of sheets and towels you really need/use.
