Moving when you work from home is a slightly more complicated the home office is doubly hard to move you're moving your work place AND your house.
So what can you do to make the move easier?
Moving your home office, like any other move, is all about packing the non essentials if you aren't using your printer much, go ahead and box it, and some paper up keep it handy so that you can pull it out and use it if you need it. If you do use it, but not your USB, or other parts of your computer often, consider packing them away as soon as you can.
You can also take this chance to clear out or decide whether anything is needing renewed. Got cartridges of ink that you want to recycle?

Three Weeks to go
At three weeks to go, you ll hopefully have finished packing your cupboards - you ll be able to start packing any non essential belongings and put them away too.

Ordering as far in advance is important because you ll have the supplies on hand.
You can start investigating schools in your new area and list any questions you may want to ask. While considering which the best school in the area is, you also have to consider how accessible it is ..
Moving your home office can be frustrating, and tiring, but well worth it in the long run that corner you claimed in a rush when you started working from home could become a well planned nook in your new house, with a little imagination.
