Here are some secret moving tips that pertain to organization. Simple ways to organize your boxes, packaging and moving that will benefit how fast, efficient and smooth the packing, moving-out, moving, moving-in and unpacking. Read these following tips and learn how you can benefit from organizing your move.
Prepare Early
They say practice makes perfect. They say early bird gets the worm. They say preparing early for a move is the ONLY way to avoid stress. When moving it is very difficult to get a good healthy idea of how much you have until it is all packed up. You will need to give sufficient time to compare each location and where you are moving your furniture and boxes too. I can't stress this enough early preparation is NECESSARY.
Pack Similar Like-Items
There is a tendency that items of the same size fit well together within in boxes. Put all kitchen equipment together and all bathroom appliances together. Put all the large books with the other large books and the smaller books with one another. As much as you can, put all the like-items together because this allows unpacking to go smoothly. You can't be too organized in this kind of packing because this will only making the unpacking that much easier.
Labeling
This is can be a make or break in terms of your effectiveness in your move. It is a NEED to label your boxes among other items in your move. There are several choices you can make in terms of labeling though. You can color code with tape and write the contents of the box on the tape. Color code the boxes according to what room within your new location you are putting it into. ( Kitchen, living room, basement, office, "so-and-so's room", etc...) This allows you to be quick and efficient and you won't have to figure out what goes where. Also, you can buy moving boxes that have a checklist of rooms/places where the boxes belong once you are done with you move. This list is usually on top of the move and very readable which has many benefits to you or the movers. I highly encourage you to use both methods for boxes. Use the tape method for the items that won't go into boxes.
Help Yourself Out
Hire a moving company. They can walk side by side with you in the organization process. It eases your stress. Don't try to move everything yourself. Moving companies do this every day and they know how to keep organized during a move. They are professionals and good moving companies always have movers who care and you can trust. I highly encourage you to hire a moving company
