- Anticipate. Make
a floor plan of your new residence. Take a complete inventory
of your items and furniture. Toss aside or donate anything you
don't want to bring with you.
- Facilitate. Begin
packing well ahead of the move. Get the proper boxes. Have
enough wardrobe boxes, it'll save you ironing time later.
- Organize.
Concentrate on one room at a time. Label every box. This will
help insure that they end up in the right rooms. Designate one
room to place all your filled boxes before the move.
- Prioritize.
Pack items for storage. For example, if you are moving during
the summer, pack your winter articles first.
- Calculate.
Pack heavier items in smaller boxes. Try to keep each box
under 50lbs. Fully secure the bottoms of each box and place
heavier items toward the bottom. If you're driving a rental
truck, load heavier boxes all of the way inside the truck and
load furniture last. It will help clear the path when you
unload later on.
