Moving day might still be a few weeks away, but the sooner you start preparing, the smoother the process will be. With about a month to go, now is the time to get organized, tackle important tasks, and set yourself up for a stress-free move. Here’s what you should focus on four weeks before the big day.

If you're handling the move yourself, now is the time to reserve a rental truck or enlist friends and family to assist.
