Pack by the Room
When it comes to  packing up belongings  and moving out of a living space, it helps to pack like items together. You can do this efficiently by going from room to room and making sure all of the items in each room are packed together. Your bathroom supplies will be in the same boxes, and the same for your kitchen supplies and bedroom items. This way, you can easily put everything in the right place when you arrive at your new home.

Label Boxes
One of the most helpful aspects of packing is labeling your boxes. Simply label each box with the name of the room it belongs in or you can create an inventory of its contents. This is especially helpful when putting boxes into storage, this makes it easy to find what you’re looking for when you search through your storage unit. If you are working with movers or have other helpers, it is wise to include the name of the room each box will go in, as this will help them put the boxes in if working with movers in the correct room.

Pack in Advance
In an effort to reduce stress from your move, pack in advance. Start with seasonal items and items you don’t use often. By the week of your move, you should only have daily items unpacked. The last thing you want is to scramble around and haphazardly pack your boxes in the days before you need to leave.
