problems. Maybe return <strong>to</strong> your task list and timeline and work in some extra days if you can.<br />

Allowing for some wiggle room will ensure that you can adjust and feel calm even when chaos<br />

abounds.<br />

Have a Back-up Plan<br />

Now, I'm not talking about creating a full back-up plan, but rather that you have a list of options<br />

should some of the major pieces of your move fall out of place. For instance, I always keep a short<br />

list of back up movers and rental agencies, just in case. I also allow a few days on either end of our<br />

move out/move in day should our moving company cancel or not show up. This can happen even<br />

though it's rare. Plan for alternatives. You'll feel better knowing that your uncle and his two-<strong>to</strong>n<br />

truck is available should you need it.<br />

Be Prepared <strong>to</strong> Feel Uprooted<br />

You're going <strong>to</strong> be living in chaos for a while, with boxes everywhere and things feeling out of<br />

control. It's normal <strong>to</strong> be upset when you can't find the spatula or the crock pot; just remember <strong>to</strong><br />

consult your lists and know that you're organized and on track for this move. You've done the work,<br />

and even though there's still more <strong>to</strong> go, it will get done.<br />

And when you move in<strong>to</strong> your new home, also remember that it'll take a while for this new space <strong>to</strong><br />

feel like your own - for you and your family <strong>to</strong> settle in. Give it time.<br />

And remember <strong>to</strong> breathe.<br />

<strong>Moving</strong> Checklist<br />

You may not be able <strong>to</strong> move mountains, but you can plan an organized move with a little help<br />
