Pack an overnight bag containing all the
essentials.
Chances are, you’ll be too tired to unpack your things.
You’ll want your essentials within easy access, including a change of clothes
if you’re going back to work the next day as well as all your toiletries. It’s
also a great way to transport a laptop, which could run the risk of getting stolen
during a move.
Pack the items you will need FIRST in
a clear plastic bin.
This includes things like a box cutter, paper towels,
trash bags, eating utensils, select cookware, power strips, phone chargers,
toilet paper, tools, etc. The clear bin allows you to see inside; it also
separates itself from the myriad of cardboard boxes.
Wrap your breakables (dishes, glasses, etc.)
in clothing to save on bubble wrap.
Two birds, one stone: You’re packing your clothes and
kitchenware at the same time.
For extra padding, pack your glasses
and stemware in clean socks.
Keep drawers intact by covering them with
Press’n Seal.
Dresser drawers are like their own moving boxes — this
will keep you from having to unpack and refold their contents.
It’ll also make moving the actual dresser much more
manageable. ( Unless the dresser belongs to housing then even if you wrap it
you can't take it with you.)
Press’n Seal is also great for keeping jewelry
displays intact.
Keep sandwich bags handy for holding
any small parts of things you have to take apart, like curtain rods or mounted
flat-screen TVs.
Cut down on boxes by making all of
your baskets, laundry bins, hampers, and suitcases work for you.
The fastest way to pack a closet:
Put a garbage bag around your clothes so that stay together and on the hanger during transition!
