Moving doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. A little preparation goes a long way!
1) Don’t move what you don’t need. Go room by room and separate items into: Keep, donate, sell, and toss.
2) Keep a separate box or suitcase with items you’ll need immediately: Toiletries, chargers, important documents and a change of clothes.
3) Use packing paper, bubble wrap, or towels to cushion breakables. Place heavier items at the bottom of boxes and lighter items on top. Fill empty space so items don’t shift during transit.
4) Snap quick pictures of cable setups behind TVs, routers, or office equipment. Reassembly will be much easier in your new home.
5) Heavy boxes are harder to move and more likely to break. A good rule of thumb: Books in small boxes, linens and lighter items in larger boxes.
