Here are some tips and tricks for moving to a new home:

1. Start packing and decluttering early. Don't leave packing until the last minute.

2. Go through each room and decide what you want to keep, donate or throw away. This will make packing easier.

3. Use a color coding system when packing boxes. Use different colored labels to mark boxes for each room. This will make unpacking quicker.

4. Pack a 'first day' box with items you'll need right away like toilet paper, soap, snacks, sheets, phone chargers, coffee, and basic tools. Unpack this first so you'll have essentials.

5. Label every box on all sides with room names and a brief description of contents. This helps movers know what goes where.

6. Back up computer files and photos on the cloud or an external hard drive. Store these safely aside during the move.

7. Create an inventory list of valuables and number boxes containing them. This helps keep track of important items.

8. Set aside tools, hardware, and essential supplies in one handy box for move-in day. Have tape, scissors, garbage bags, etc.

9. Clean the former home after moving out fully. This leaves it in good shape for the next residents.

10. Make unpacking easier by having snacks, cold drinks, and music available on move-in day. Order take-out for the first meal.

11. Update your mailing address immediately. Forward mail or change address with post office, banks, etc.

12. Update driver's license, insurance policies, memberships, subscriptions etc. with new address.
