A bag of essentials
When you are packing for your move, there are going to be some things that you will want to leave unpacked. These items will be essentials that you will want to have easy access to on the day of your move. You don't want to have to unpack a whole box just so that you can brush your teeth and have a shower. This bag should be planned considering a few different things such as how much unpacking you plan to do on your first day, how far away the new home is, and the time of day that you are planning on moving. You will want the contents to include everything that you will need that you don't plan on unpacking before you will need it. You will want to plan this early, so that you don't accidentally pack any of these items away.
Meals
Meals are something that many people don't think about when planning out their move. However, how you go about your meals can make a big difference. There are a few options that you have. The first, is to order food or eat at a restaurant. This can be a good strategy, as it means that you don't have to add cooking a meal to your work load and can also act as a celebration of moving into your new home. Another option, is to prepare meals before the day that are ready to eat when you want them. This option is cheaper than buying a meal, while also reducing the workload on the day. The final option that you have, is to simply make your meals at the new home. This option means more work on the day, but can be a nice way to enjoy your new home and use the kitchen for the first time.
Goals
On the day of your move, you will have things that will have to be done no matter what. These are things such as moving everything to the new home. How much you do beyond that, is up to you. Because of this, it is important that you plan out what your goals are for the day of your move. There are a lot of different ways to go about this depending on how you work best. For some, getting as much done as possible will help them to relax and enjoy the new home. For others, they may want to get the time sensitive tasks out of the way and relax with the knowledge that the bulk of the move is out of the way. Regardless of what you do, going into it with a plan can be very useful, as it will help to motivate you and keep you on track.
