Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

Boxes
Tape
Black marker
Wrapping supplies (for breakables)

Step1

Pick a room and start there. Many of us find ourselves going about through the entire house, making more of a mess instead of staying in one room and packing it first.

Step2

Keep items together. Take all bedding out of one room and put in a box. Keep all curtains in one room in a box or if you have extra room, add some breakables between the curtains.

Step3

When you fill a box, tape it and then using a black marker, write what is in the box on the box. You can either label the items, or just mark which room it needs to go in. Many people find this more effective so you don't have to think when moving them, you just see which room it will go in and place it there.

Step4

When you finish a room and have a truck or van ready to be loaded, go ahead and load all the finished boxes. This will give you a small break in packing and will help remind yourself that you are actually making progress in all this chaos!

Tips & Warnings

In order to save time when unpacking, wash any dishes that need it, blankets, etc, so that you can unpack and put away, rather than clean them after you unpack them.
