Besides, try to keep up a list either on a paper or on your phone to keep track of all the items while moving.

- Set up proper security system before shifting things: In case your new home is not equipped with proper security system, then you must set up one before moving your things there. Knowing that your belongings are protected in a new place and in a new environment will offer you some sort of peace of mind. Don’t forget to change the home locking system before shifting your belongings.
- Unpack the boxes: Once you are sorted out in the new place, next thing that you have to do is to unpack the boxes by checking labels. Don’t rush. Open a box, unpack and place the things properly and therefore open another box. It is better to start with the kitchen and bedroom.
