Regardless of how promising your future is in the new place, it is a big life- changing decision to make.

Here are a few tips for you to kick-start the movement and guide your pre-move planning in the right direction. 1. Research and Prepare a master plan Prepare a complete master plan of all the things to be done for the relocation process, including contacting all the service providers, finding a new home, collecting all the legal and medical documents, finding a new school for kids, packing strategy etc. You should also consider the funds you have to allocate for the move, transportation to be used, any help you can get from family and friends etc. No master plan can be complete without proper research, and if it is about moving to a new city, it becomes all the more important. Gather as much information as you can about your new town on the internet as well as by personal visit. It is very important to know your new place well as you are moving from a familiar place to a completely unknown environment and people. It is essential to familiarise yourself with it as much as you can, by reading about the weather, people, festivals, landscapes, places to visit and much more. You can also search for local businesses, restaurant suggestions, recreational activities or social clubs and even visit the city and talk to people, ask questions and take a tour of the neighbourhoods to get the physical feel of the area. 2. De-clutter your stuff Make a detailed list of everything you have, and work out on what you would want to take along. Always remember while sorting that you will have to pay a cost for everything you decide to take along. So, it is better to keep emotions aside and make four piles: pack, sell, donate and throw.
