Leave yourself a familiar corner while the rest of a new home is still becoming yours.

CREATIVITY

WHAT THIS MEANS

A whole new home at once is more disorientation than most people can carry gracefully. One area put back exactly as it was, the same lamp beside the same books in the same order, gives you somewhere to land while everything else is still unfamiliar. Continuity in one corner buys patience everywhere else.

Unpack one small area completely and correctly before spreading out into the rest. Do it on the first evening if you can manage it, even with the boxes still stacked around you.
