Staring down the productivity drain of moving and winning

Who enjoys an office move?  No one I know.  While a move might lead to long-term benefits, the process of moving can be a productivity-drain.  I am staring the productivity-drain in the face this week:

I am moving the physical location of my law practice from Oklahoma City about 10 miles away to Edmond (for those not familiar with the area, an adjoining city).  I am moving into a picturesque office park (Christman Parke) closer to my home and around solid and interesting people.  It will be a good thing once the physical part of the move is complete.  However, in the meantime, I believe my planning, preparation and the nature of my practice allows for a smooth transition.

The only substantial change is the mailing address:  to 1233 E. 33rd Street, Edmond, OK 73013.  Current address: 100 E. California, Suite 200, Oklahoma City, OK 73104

Due to the way I have structured my communications over the past year, my email, telephone number and facsimile number all stay the same.  For the substantial number of people I communicate with over telephone, email and other electronic media, there will be no change.  I am spreading the word of my new physical address through this blog, email and traditional (although very reliable) old mail.

All of the items I can carry were moved during non-traditional business hours, leaving only some of the larger items for the movers this week.  I hope to settle into the new office and continue to serve my clients, with almost no producitivty-drain.

If you have any interesting moving stories, I would love to hear them???
