5 Packing Strategies to Make Your Next Move a Breeze

by | Aug 25, 2021 | Features

Employing a packing strategy is a good way to alleviate the stress of moving. The decluttering method is effective if you have accumulated lots of stuff. With this method, you divide items into three piles: trash, donate and pack. Another method involves using color-coded labels to designate which room your items go into. With the room by room method, you clear out each room one at a time, beginning with your least used room.  And finally, hire a professional moving company to do the packing as well as the moving.

Key Takeaways:

  • It’s time to move and your stymied. Go for the three pile method. That is, sort your things that are not going with you into donate, throw out and give away piles.
  • List the rooms in your home-to-be. Have your items listed and coded by room for easy access once you arrive.
  • No one person should have to do everything. Find friends and family to help. Delegate. Provide checklists and pizza. And hire a professional to help you move.

“Moving can be stressful, especially if you’re disorganized and don’t have a plan. But it doesn’t have to be. By implementing a packing strategy, you can reduce your stress, stay focused and be ready for moving day in no time.”
