So. you’re moving. You’ve carefully planned an itinerary. You’ve selected a moving company and you have supplies. It is not time to get cocky. Perhaps you think packing is something you can do at the last minute. Don’t. It isn’t just about getting items into boxes. It’s about doing so thoughtfully, in a way that protects the items and ensures that people at the other end, can easily route them and unpack them in a way that is systematic and gets things to their ultimate destination quickly. In other words, there is science and artistry involved. So, have your supplies ready. Label everything. Use bubble wrap, popcorn, or some means to ensure each item has a cushion that needs one. Do not be haphazard. Place items that belong together in the same box. Take time. Do not wait until the last minute to start. If it’s all too much, get a pro.
