There are many elements of moving that are uncomfortable, expensive, even painful, but for most people I suspect the biggest headache is moving their furniture from one home to another.

This is a cumbersome, tedious, stressful endeavor, as for those of us who don’t own yachts (yet?), our couches and beds and bookshelves represent the largest, heaviest non-car things we own.

There's also a chance our stuff will be damaged in transit, won't fit in our new spaces, or may need to be stored between Point A and Point B: moved to a storage facility where it will sit, gather dust, and maybe be gnawed-upon by rats until it can be packed back up and moved to its final destination.

I'm not moving house right now (thankfully), but I am shuffling around some of my online properties—a process burdened with similar concerns.

Seldom does content from one platform translate perfectly to another, so it's often necessary to edit, re-style, re-categorize, and recalibrate stuff that was working just fine on (for instance) one podcast host, just to get it back to square-one functionality on another.
