Plan ahead of time

Packing your belongings is the most time-demanding task in the moving process, meaning you should budget your time efficiently. The best way to do this is to come up with a packing calendar far ahead of your move (2 months is suggested) and follow it accordingly. Following a moving schedule will also give you motivation as you check goals off your list.

Pack in stages

Trying to pack everything at once will only lead to you being overwhelmed and disorganized. Instead, take a stage by stage approach to packing. You can split packing in two ways–by room (recommended) or by items. You should always start with items and rooms that won’t be used until moving day.

Start packing ASAP

It’s better to have the issue of packing too early than not having enough enough time to pack. If you leave your packing for the last minute, you risk breaking your belongings in the rush. Not to mention a rushed job packing only leads to a disorganized unpacking. Start your packing as soon as possible with things like spare sheets, off-season clothing, and similar items that you have no immediate use for.
