Congratulations! You bought your new Taylor Morrison home. Now it’s time to get moving…literally. Assuming you haven’t been living in a tent you’ve got work to do. Lots of it. It’s tempting to toss everything and start fresh, but you’re probably attached to some of your things. So let’s focus on making the process of moving into a new home as stress-free as possible. The best way to achieve moving Zen, whether you’re moving down the block or across the country, is to pare the process down to four fundamental needs:
1. Decide what goes and what doesn’t
This can be challenging, but here are a couple of resources to help you cull: Take It or Toss It?; Deciding What to Keep When Moving
2. A written plan and a timeline
The Internet is filled with free downloadable checklist like this Moving Checklist and Planner.
3. Supplies
Check out Livability.com’s Must Have Packing and Moving Supplies
4. Help

Hi Emily!
Just discovered the blog and I’m loving it. Great stuff!
I noticed in “The Zen of Moving to Your New Home” you link out to that classic Squawkfox moving checklist. It’s a great one!
In fact, that checklist was one of the resources that we used to create our new and improved moving checklist over here at Bellhops. It’s both check-off-able and downloadable– and the PDF has a cute design to it, if I do say so myself 🙂

Anyways, I thought you might think it was worth a link. Either way, keep up the great work!
Best,
Andrew
