Moving is just one of those words that is synonymous with stress. Even if the end result is something you are ecstatic about, you still have to get through all the stress and hard work it will take to get to your new home.

Since I  have moved... five (5) times... here are some of the things I have done to try to keep sane:

List It Out: Jot down a list of every little thing you need to get done from now till move in day. Get it all out of your head and down on paper. Then, each morning, move part of that list into your daily "to do" and start tackling.

Color Coordinate: Choose a color for each room and mark each box accordingly.

Organize: Label each of your boxes with what room it will go in and what's inside. This will help the boxes get to their correct destination and save you endless hours of rummaging through boxes over and over trying to find your cell phone cord, etc.

Stay Calm: It is very easy to get out of control and overwhelmed when you are faced with so much to do in such little time. So remember to breathe, and just keep telling yourself that you have done this before (assuming you have) and have gotten through it each time. Once you are settled in your new home, kicking back and drinking your inaugural glass of wine, you'll forget all about how much of a pain it was to get there.
