Moving sucks.  I can’t put it more eloquently than that.  We have nearly five weeks until we take possession and that means 5 weeks of packing, living in chaos, anxious anticipation and more packing.

Last year I attended the professional organizers of Canada conference and sat in many sessions put on by super talented organizers.  One such session involved organizing and simplifying your move.  I remember thinking, poor suckers who are in the position of preparing to move.  I thought for once we were settled and the terrifying process of moving and relocating were a distant memory.  After four moves in five years I was not ready to hire, yet again, our regular mover nor start asking for banana boxes from our local corner store.  Nope, I was staying put….boy am I eating crow now.

I quickly gave a call to my wonderful organizer co-worker and friend Elaine who quickly provided me with a copy of this awesome book GO the essential guide to organizing and moving written by Karen Shinn and Gail Shields.  It is a complete and comprehensive book outlining all the necessary steps and checklists to make your move as easy and painless as possible.  Although it would be easier to close my eyes, wiggle my nose and transport myself and all of our belonging to the new house but that’s unlikely to happen.  This book will be a huge help in an effort to maintain sanity through all of this.

For all those in the same position as I, why not check out this book.
