Staying Organized Before The Move
You’ve just received exciting news. Along with your new job title, you’re being relocated to San Francisco! After the excitement subsides, your next action step is to become proactive in the relocation process to plan for an orderly transition for you and your family. This doesn’t mean you have to do all the heavy lifting; on the contrary, it presents a great opportunity for you to involve the family in preparing a detailed relocation timeline that can be adjusted and updated routinely.
Moving is a significant undertaking, and while it may seem like you have all the time in the world to prepare, it’s easy to become overwhelmed if you don’t plan ahead. If your company is handling the relocation, find out exactly what is covered and what you’re expected to do. This can be an exciting time full of new opportunities, but it also can be a time of increased stress and massive “to-do” lists.
It’s never too soon to begin planning for a move. To manage all of the components of a successful move, it is wise to plot out a moving timeline. Most families have at least two months in which to execute the move, but your moving timeline might differ if you are selling a house and have accepted a quick closing date. Push everything forward as necessary to accomplish your move as quickly and as easily as possible.
