Send us Fan MailBeing unprepared for a move requires an emergency triage approach: pause panic, secure absolute essentials, and focus strictly on core survival rather than a fully organized transition.When moving, you need to start planning at least eight weeks in advance by setting a budget, decluttering your items, and booking professional movers or a rental truck.Start early: Begin organizing at least two months before your move date.Get estimates: Ask multiple moving companies for written price quotes.Request time off: Take off work for the days you load and unload.Check permits: Ask your city or homeowner association if you need parking permits for the truck.Purge items: Sell, donate, or throw away things you do not use.Pack non-essentials first: Box up books and decor weeks ahead of time.Keep clothes on hangers: Cover bundled hanging clothes with trash bags for easy transport.Use up food: Eat perishable food in your fridge before moving day.Supervise the crew: Stay present and answer questions while workers load the truck.Do a walkthrough: Check every closet, cabinet, and drawer before leaving your old home.Keep records: Carry important documents, passports, and medications with you.Change the locks: Install new locks on your doors for safety.Check utilities: Make sure water, gas, and electricity work properly.Unpack essentials first: Set up your bed, bathroom, and kitchen items immediately.This week we would like to highlight First Session if you would like to learn more or donate click the link below https://www.firstsession.com/resources/how-to-cope-with-movingPlease leave a comment and review our episode and give some feedback on what we can improve on!Thank You All For Listening and DownloadingSupport the showThe 988 Lifeline988 is now active across the United States.
