.. There. We probably haven't said it enough. But if you can master those two concepts, you are well on your way to an efficient and painless move.Make a list of what you need to do, and when you need to do it. One approach is to make a calendar of events for your

Compiling Personal Records

All the time you have been living in your current home, you have been building important
records of your personal history. Medical, dental, financial, and legal information will take
on increased importance in your new community. Information gathering should be a simple
process that you can begin working on several months before your actual move. Contact
your family doctor and dentist - and all of the specialists you may have been to like
pediatricians, obstetricians, and eye doctors and get copies of your medical records. Your new physicians and dentists will need your history. If you have a pet, you will need their medical records too. Your veterinarian can give you copies of their immunization certificates which you will probably need to get new tags or licenses.
