One of the most significant factors when it comes to moving is the time factor. In order to be completely sure the whole removal process will go on as planned and nothing unexpected will cause any troubles you should strictly schedule your time and the time of your family to make sure everything will happen as planned. And by scheduling the time we mean exactly that – schedule it to every single minute. That is why one of the most important things you should do when taking the decision to move to a new place is to arrange your time and the time of your family. This should be done even before the packing of your items even before you arrange a man and a van company to help you with the removal. The following lines will help you at doing that, and will give you a few basic ideas on what you should think of first in terms of time scheduling.

- First and most important when you arrange the moving you should take into consideration your children’s terms at school and in particular – the vacations they are going to have according to the school rules. It is always a better idea to use the longest vacation available – the summer one as it will give you and your kids enough time to organise everything to go as smoothly as possible. Besides if you are moving into a new town or even country that means that you are going to move your children to a new school. That is why it is always better to do that in the end of the school year (the summer vacation), not in the middle of it. Starting going to a new school in the beginning of a new school year is less stressful to children compared to changing the place during the school year. However no matter when you will start the process of removing there is one thing you should definitely do – contact your children’s teachers and the school principal and let them know about the change. Even if your children will stay in the same school, you should inform the teachers and the principal about the change in the address and the phone number also. And if you are moving somewhere far and your children will have to attend a new school, you will need to know what documents are required for the change.
- Make sure to arrange your husband’s or wife’s time in their work. They should take a couple of days off or if you are moving to a new town, they should arrange the date they will quit the job and start the new one in the new place. The same thing applies for you too.
- Arrange the dates when you are supposed to start work in the new place.
- It is not a very clever idea to arrange the removal during national holidays or other festive days such as Christmas or Easter. First because most moving companies are also having holidays at that time of the year and second because even if you find a company to help you with the removal, most institutions and stores will be closed and you will experience difficulties finding the materials you need for the removal.
