Moving Tips
-
Pack an overnight bag containing all the essentials
Chances are, you’ll be too tired to unpack your things. You’ll want your essentials within easy access, including a change of clothes if you’re going back to work the next day as well as all your toiletries. It’s also a great way to transport a laptop, which could run the risk of getting stolen during a move.
-
Pack the items you will need FIRST in a clear plastic bin
This includes things like a box cutter, paper towels, trash bags, eating utensils, select cookware, power strips, phone chargers, toilet paper, tools, etc. The clear bin allows you to see inside; it also separates itself from the myriad of cardboard boxes.
-
Wrap your breakables (dishes, glasses, etc.) in clothing to save on bubble wrap
Two birds, one stone: You’re packing your clothes and kitchenware at the same time.
-
For extra padding, pack your glasses and stemware in clean socks
-
In addition to labeling what’s in your boxes, add what room they’ll be going into, as well
When you arrive at your new home, unpack BY ROOM. The unpacking process will feel more manageable.
And remember to label the SIDES of the boxes, not the tops. This way, you’ll be able to identify them even if they’re stacked.
-
Pack plates vertically, like records. They’ll be less likely to break
-
7). Take a photo of how your electronics are connected so you can remember how and where all the wires go
-
8). If you’re renting, take photos of your cleaned-out old home and your new home before moving in
