When you think of ‘packing’ your mind automatically does the eye rolling and tries to push back the event as far as possible to avoid any immediate efforts. Sadly most of us turn lazy when it comes to packing things for moving into a new residence or locality. But packing is an art that requires proper planning and attention so let us look at some hacks to remember when first moving.
The preparation
Like everything else, packing needs preparation. You need to make a comprehensive plan before moving anything. This is a simple step but will prove really effective in the long run. The plan could involve a to-do-list or a calendar that contains your daily moving tasks, this step will help you breakdown all the work so that you do not feel like you are drowning under the sea of boxes that needs to be moved.
While you are planning your list, you can go over the moving supplies that you already have or you might need for packing,supplies like cardboard boxes, bubble wrap (and remember not to get distracted by this particular item) and materials required for cushioning fragile things etc.
Remember , ‘Well begun is half done’
Be an Early Bird
Now that you have your plan ready, you need to start immediately so no future work gets overlapped. Start with the small things that could be completed ahead of the planned schedule, this will make you confident and you can accordingly make adjustments if there are any delays in the future.
During this time you can prioritize your belongings and categorize wanted and unwanted things. Moving is a great time to clean up unwanted belongings. You can sort out the things you need to throw, donate or even want to sell. After sorting out, you will be relieved to see how easy the process has become and for that you can pat your back (if you have the time)
D-day
Assuming a comprehensive plan was made and you checked every box on the to-do-list, it is safe to say that the moving ‘will’ be hassle-free and organized. So do not procrastinate and get moving.
