The Big Move to Your New Apartment: 5 Tips for Packing Efficiently

by | Aug 31, 2017 | Features

Check out Digital Locker, a free tool to help you take a digital inventory. Consider grouping your belongings on paper before you begin packing. This may not only help make unpacking easier, it can also make packing seem less overwhelming because you’ll have a set plan on what to put into each box. If you are trying to save money, consider asking local businesses and friends for spare cardboard boxes and using clothes instead of plastic wrap to protect fragile objects. Consider blocking out two or three hours each day dedicated to packing up a certain room.

Key Takeaways:

  • Once you’ve made the decision to move, there is one important step lying between you and your new pad: packing.
  • While it may seem time consuming at first, taking an inventory of everything you own can help with tracking your belongings during the move.
  • Instead of trying to pack everything at once, consider blocking out two or three hours each day dedicated to packing up a certain room.
