First make a checklist of the things that you need to do and the target date of completion so that none of them will be left undone. It is important to have the list ready and visible at all times to keep track of the things that you need to perform.

If you have time for a garage sale, it will be very practical to setup one. This is to minimize the things that you will have to move to your new house and will also give you extra income. The garage sale should be scheduled preferably two months before the scheduled date of the move.

Begin packing as early as possible, preferably at least a month before your move. This will take a longer time than you can expect. Go through the house for things that you can dispose and sort out the things that you can donate to charity. This is important to reduce the things that should be transported.
