moving home planning household stress

About

Moving is regularly listed alongside bereavement and divorce as one of the most stressful things people do, and the reason is not the boxes. It is that for two or three months you cannot answer a simple question — when are we moving — and every other decision depends on that answer. Schools, notice periods, holidays, work, and whether to book anything at all. So the thing worth designing is not the packing plan. It is how the household handles the uncertainty: who is chasing, what gets decided provisionally, and where the ten minutes a week goes so the whole subject stops leaking into every evening. The first night box is on here deliberately. It is trivial, it takes twenty minutes, and it is the difference between arriving somewhere and being stranded in it.
