One reason people move is because they have outgrown their home. Everyone has items that they have not used in months or years that are taking up space. Prior to your move is an ideal time to start organizing and discarding items you have not used and may not need to move. Unwanted clothing and furniture pieces can always be donated to shelters or religious and charitable organizations, some of who will even pick up the items at your home.
In preparing for your move, set aside important documents and items that may be needed during or immediately after the move, such as plane tickets, passports, medicine, etc.
