Moving sounds like a simple, if also stressful, enough affair. Lots of boxes, lots of things to be left behind or finally thrown out. Yet one aspect of a move that few remember to carefully consider until it”s too late, staring them right in the face is the arrival at the new residence! After all, moving connotes both a moving from and a moving towards, and it is this latter part of the experience that many find easy to forget.

Moving involves a lot of work, in particular preparatory homework, but that foresight should also be applied to the aftermath of a move, once physically relocated but not necessarily quite established just yet. Moving can be less stressful if there are sound plans in place to deal with all manner of situations, expected and not, but a proper move also includes an arrival strategy. That”s right; a departure strategy is only half the job! To be effective that is, involving the least amount of stress and time you will need to have a good arrival strategy and make sure it”s executed properly.

It may sound ridiculous, but there are simple things that many do not consider when moving. Some are obvious, and others are not. For example, sometimes the new set of keys has yet to be picked up, and is only remembered when at the unhelpfully locked door of the new domicile! Also, many jurisdictions have detailed legal regulations as to when moving is allowed, with moves being typically prohibited on weeknights. Speaking of regulations, even parking availability might become an issue. There is also the rather prosaic but all-important matter of whether furniture can fit through doors or around narrow staircase corners. How”s that piano going to get up to the third floor? What will the children do in the meantime? And where is Fido? Moving can be quite a challenge if the little simple stuff are ignored!

And sometimes the simple stuff isn”t so little, as in the case of potential crime. Who wants the whole neighborhood to know you have expensive high-end audio-visual equipment? Probably not you! So now you”ll need to take a minute or two figuring out how you can get all those goodies in the door without stirring up any unwanted envy. Every situation is different, and most probably would not occasion as much hassle as has been suggested so far, but it”s probably useful to spend a little time envisioning any possible mishaps beforehand and being prepared.
