Packing up years’ worth of belongings can add to the stress of relocating. With items tucked away in every storage area of the house, it can be tough to know where to start. To make the days or weeks leading up to your relocation less nerve-racking, here are a few packing tips. 

3 Packing Tips for Your Relocation to a New Home

1. Get Rid of Clutter First

From outdated electronics to boxes of old clothes, the rarely-used items in your house won’t be of use in the new place, too. To cut down on packing time, get rid of all the unwanted belongings taking up space in your home. Throw out what’s broken, and box up everything else to donate to charity. Decluttering your home will give you more room to pack and make the process feel more manageable.

2. Work on a Timed Schedule

As packing can be an exhaustive task, it may end up at the bottom of your priority list. To keep your sanity, start the process as soon as you pick a relocation date. To stay on schedule, set a timer to pack each day for at least an hour or two.

3. Don’t Forget the Labels

Although the ultimate goal is to finish packing boxes and storage bins well in advance of the moving date, don’t forget to label each container after you load it with items. The markers should state what room the boxes belong in. This will make it easier to find items quickly and start setting up your new home. You should also indicate which boxes are fragile as it’ll ensure breakable pieces are handled by professional movers with care.
