Getting that big promotion at work or making that big career change will likely be one of the most exciting things you will ever do. However, along with that wave of elation, there will also no doubt be an undercurrent of uncertainty and wondering how you can move everything you own to another city.
All of these unknowns can mean your stress levels go through the roof as the first day in your new role approaches and can mean that your new job gets off to the worst start possible. To avoid this and arrive in the right state of mind to give the right first impression, you need to make sure that you are organized mentally and physically.
Start by having a plan
There is no one size fits all solution to this, as the plan will need to vary depending on where you have to move to and how large a move it is. However, it would help if you were sure of what you want to achieve and by when. Breaking everything down into bite-size chunks can make it easier and bypass the tendency that most people have to leave everything to the last minute.
Draw up your plan in detail, and make sure that anyone who is helping you also has access to this plan and is agreeable with it. That way, you can work out if you are falling behind and draft in extra help if needed.
Let the professionals do the important tasks
Your pets are also going to pick up on any stress you might be feeling, and worrying about them come moving day is not going to do too much for levels of calm either. By engaging experienced dog or cat transport services, you can make sure they are properly looked after during the trip, and it is one less worry off of your plate.
Looking for cat transport online doesn’t have to be difficult, as there are sites where you can see all of the services available and pick the one that is right for you. There is, of course, a cost involved, but when you consider the peace of mind it can give you, you are likely to consider it money well spent.
Think about your first week in your new location
You might think arriving at your new address is the end of the matter, but your new life has only just begun. So, before you go, you need to think about what you are going to eat in the first week (even if this just means checking out the local takeouts) or bulk cook your meals in advance. It is also an idea to make sure you have the first couple of months’ rent sorted out so you have as few concerns as possible as you walk into your new job on the first day. That way, you can focus on getting off to the best start possible and ensuring that your recent promotion is just the first of many.
