There are people who can be hired to help unload things if you are moving things yourself. There is time to relax and recharge....and make sure you make this a priority. There's plenty of time to work on the house, there's plenty to do to relax.
We'd hire a moving van........but I still have memories of 1995 which is the last time when we moved back to Vermont from Florida.

6 years is a good reasonable goal. Thanks !!! Definitely slowing down now compared to 1995.

My next door neighbor "enlisted" her step children to help move locally and she said it was more bother than it was worth.......they put all the boxes in a huge pile, rather than bring them to the proper rooms which she had labeled on each box. We always did that for the movers.
Would write on each box which room it belonged in. Anyway, her stress levels just went through the roof..........she's now 70. Said she would have preferred to do it herself and at a slower pace.........not as chaotic.

I'm going to give myself the six year goal....to totally unpack
