We help with all aspects of moving, including helping you prep! Whether this is your first time moving on your own or if it’s been a while since you moved, check out our list on tips to help you pack and other time-saving moving tips.
Label Your Boxes
Make unpacking a breeze by putting related items in boxes together and labelling them. If you want to take it a step further, write on the box what’s in it.
Have an “essentials” box.
You’re going to be tired after packing and moving all day. So, at the end of the day, you can open up just your essentials box so you can still shower and eat without digging through your boxes. Some use a suitcase. Your essentials box should have the following items in it:
- Toiletries- toilet paper, paper towels, a towel, toothbrush/toothpaste
- Shower cap, shower curtain, shampoo, soap
- Pajamas/ change of clothes
- Silverware/plates/cups
- Dish soap/sponge
Save your Amazon boxes!
While we have boxes, we also recommend saving boxes and packing paper that you get in the mail. You will need more boxes than you think you’ll need.
Also, save another box for donations. As you go through your items, you’ll realize there are some things you don’t want to take with you.
One Space at a Time
This is for the scatter-brained folks – focus on one room at a time. Packing random things as you go along can slow down the process, causing you to feel overwhelmed.
Lastly, remember to take your time. Moving is a big process. Some people can unpack and get their new place set up in a day, some need a week or two. If you can, take off time from work to unpack and settle in.
