With no further ado, here is a list of items people commonly forget while moving:

• Important records – We think these are left behind because they are not used every day. Usually, birth, death and marriage certificates and other documents are in a safe place that is easy to find, but because they are not handled regularly, they are forgotten right on the kitchen counter.
• Family heirlooms – Again, these are precious items that are rarely used and therefore elude our minds come moving time. Unless immediately needed, you probably will forget.
• New address – The most basic element is often overlooked because of the flurry of thoughts showering our minds during relocation.
• Keys – Whether left behind when they needed to be taken or when they should have been left behind, keys are a customary bane to many moving treks.
• Belongings you need to pick up – It seems like every time you recite what you need to do, one thing eludes the mind. Dry cleaning, repairs, and lent items usually stay right where they are.
• Belongings you borrowed – Many are familiar with the feeling you get the moment you take out an item in your new home and say, “Oh, this is So-and-So's!”
• Plants and pets – These living creatures are often overlooked because not everyone knows that most moving companies cannot transport them. Do your homework to find out how you will transport your companion animals and plants.
• Overnight bag – It's not until you arrive at a hotel or get a headache when you realize that you should have separately packed essential items Avoid frustration by packing an overnight bag with clothes, shoes, towels, medications, hygiene products, first aid kit, etc.

Why do we forget these items, even though they are imperative? Simple psychology states that we won't think of something unless there is an immediate need. Multitasking can also get minds in a jumble, which is essentially the backbone of every moving venture. Play it safe by slowly packing up to a month in advance, keeping a detailed list and inventory and also resorting to this blog.
