The goal isn\u2019t to start new tasks; it\u2019s to <strong>confirm, finish, and eliminate surprises<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s exactly what to do one week before your cross-country move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 id=\"h-step-1-reconfirm-your-move-details\"><strong>Step 1: Reconfirm Your Move Details<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most important step this
