Packing for that move can be a very tedious task. However, if you know these three essential things, packing can be made a lot easier:
· Plan your packing
Plan which items need to be packed first and those that need to be packed last. Set aside personal items that you will still need until the last hour of the move such as clothing, toiletries, and medicines. You can pack the bigger items ahead.
· Disassemble furniture
You can easily compact items such as furniture and electronics if they are disassembled. For instance, remove frames and holders from furniture to fit its parts in a compact spot. But make sure that bigger parts are wrapped properly with a cloth or newspapers to protect them from breakage.
One of the most important things you need when moving are moving boxes. After considering what particular items you need to pack, approximate the number of moving boxes you'll need and add at least five more to it. This will ensure that you will not run short of boxes when you start packing. It is better to have excess boxes that you can use in the future than stress yourself in the middle of packing.
