Moving is the perfect time to evaluate your belongings and decide what you really need. Donate, sell, or recycle things you don’t use anymore. The less you have, the easier your move will be. Plus, it can save you money if you’re paying movers by weight or time.
Start packing early, at least 3-4 weeks before moving day. Begin with items you use least, such as off-season clothes or decorations. Label boxes clearly with their contents and the room they belong in.
Use a color-coded system by assigning a color to each room. This will help movers (or yourself) easily identify where boxes go when you arrive at your new place.
