There are usually so many other things that need your attention, so most items just get moved without knowing exactly what is arriving at the new property. Moving large appliances usually means that the user manuals won't be attached to them just left in a drawer somewhere waiting to be thrown out. This way when your appliances arrive at their new home, there are no instructions on how they should be installed or cleaned. Bedding and curtains are usually moved without assigning them to any specific room and are put into the "I'll sort that out later" pile, until they arrive at the new property and end up being in the way instead of being taken to the rooms where they are needed.
Cataloguing your entire home at once when you're already decided to move is an extremely daunting process. Starting slowly and taking the time to catalog all your possessions before you find yourself needing it and not having it', is the smart thing to do. Having a complete list of every item that is already in every room of your home will help you see the bigger picture and will help you to have peace of mind instead of adding more stress to an already stressful situation, so when you need to move you now only need to print out an existing list for each room.
But what about the new home? Starting to catalog you new home before you move in will also help you immensely in the long run. Start recording all the details like the type of paint or tiles used their serial numbers and where they were purchased. Having this information stored, you can then forget about it knowing that the information will never be lost and you will be able to access it at any time from any computer from anywhere in the world. Once this is done you can start moving the items in your catalog from one property to the other, with ease.
