Do start planning early
In the ideal case, you should start planning three months in advance. Two months also work, but everything under five weeks is a little bit of irresponsible.

Don't suffocate with tiny details
When planning, concentrate on the big picture first, and leave the small details for the very end. For example, start with renovating the new place, finding a moving company and setting the approximate date of the moving, and leave the packing and cleaning and setting the route for the moving van for the last week.

Do get rid of everything you don't need anymore
Take a good look at all your possessions, estimate which ones you really need to have, and sell or get away or throw away the rest.

Don't pack everything you owe
It isn't worth the time and energy you put into packing and moving items you later decide you don't need any more.

A moving plan should contain what you have to do week by week, and in the last week, day by day. It's really helpful in keeping the pace of your and your family's actions to-dos.

Don't overplan

Do start packing on time

Do draw a furniture layout plan
The furniture layout plan is a scheme of your new home room by room. It helps everyone see where everything should be placed when moved in, and saves loads of time to explain and reorder on moving day.

Don't make the new home look exactly like your old home
When drawing the furniture layout plan, try every variant of interior decision you can think of. Dare to search for new furniture to make the new home new for you. The furniture can be second-hand, or bought on sale, but if it looks good - take it, so you don't spend so much money.
