1. Act Now

Procrastination can be your worst enemy, because your move date will come faster than you know it. Although this tip seems easy enough to understand, it can be hard to get started. After all you are comfortable where you are and might be dreading the move. But delaying and procrastinating is the worst thing you can do. Don’t get caught with your moving boxes unpacked, take action now and get a head start so that you aren’t rushing to pack at the last minute.

2. Pack by Room

Tackle one room at a time to make things easy on yourself. If you allow yourself to focus on one room, you are making sure you don’t bite off more than you can chew. Packing miniatures and fragile items in the right packing wrap ensures that everything makes the trip in one piece.  Pack smaller items in lightly colored paper to make sure that things aren’t lost or thrown away by accident. These small steps can add up to make your job of moving simpler and faster.

3. Label Everything

But don’t overdo it and keep your labels clean, concise, large and simple. This makes things easy to unpack and makes moving simpler as well as unpacking easier. Use different colored markers and tags for boxes that are more important. Label boxes that are vital to your day to day life in brightly colored boxes, so you know that those are the ones to unpack first.

4. Stay Clean

Pack larger items first and move your way downward to the smaller items. Keep things packed in white packing paper to prevent newspaper or colored paper from bleeding into your belongings.

5. Use Sturdy Boxes

Lightweight or flimsy boxes can create a huge mess. Make sure you use boxes that can hold your belongings safely. When you use the right moving boxes you can optimize your transition and make moving simpler all in one stroke.

6. Know what you can pack

Some items can’t be packed along with others because they may be more dangerous or hazardous. Many of these hazardous items are best off being left at home and purchased when you arrive in your new home.

7. Don’t box everything up

Some personal belongings can be better off outside of a box. Important documents or priceless family heirlooms can be damaged during the move. Save yourself stress and time by packing these separately or moving them by hand.
