How to Pack and Move Properly

By MyVine | October 15, 2011

Even though final packing should nottruly take far more than two days, various other chores such as repairs, repainting and replacing old worn out parts of the house may defer yourwhole packing time. If the property is ours, we typically have to do those chores beforemaking the new owners come in. However, if we’re moving out of our apartments, we normally leave thosethings for the land lords or landladies. 

Also bear in mind that it may be impossible to pack your whole house in one week, depending on the volume of stuff you have to pack.  For many people, packing is definitely not justuninteresting, it also usually takes plenty of your time–time that are much betterused on several other things. In spite of the simple fact that packing, and decluttering also, is vital while moving, you cant disregard the probability of boredom. 

On the bright side, we can always make the time flyfaster by making the overall process exciting,enjoyable and well organized.  Clear out your largest cupboards first. You can store boxes and other loaded items in there and those cupboards may just be full of clutter as well. So onceyou have cleaned the cupboards, continue with sweeping and cleaningdown the interior and then use those cleared spaces for the boxes you’re not using now and won’t use right up until after your move.Pack things you know you won’t require first – it mightseem obvious, but packing up as well as putting away your wintergarments in summer, or putting away your hobby stuffplaced in the bottom of your closet is a must.Before packing, remove yourkid’s old clothing and toys. You know exactly howdifficult it is to pack with little children around. But it will bemore difficult to try sneaking out theirbeloved outgrown things into the trash if they’represently there to watch you do it. Just like every other move, you can begin moving your house office by packing up the unimportant things or stuff you no longer utilize.

Things likeink jet printers (if you seldom make use of it) or somefinished paper works and files can be packed up first. Have it handy so that you could draw it out and make use of it if you need it. But if you still require your office devices andtools, but not really some of their parts–eg.microphone, webcams, headphones, sound system, etc–start packingthese first. This is also a very good time to declutter andexamine if something is in need of repair service. Got cartridges of printer ink that you would like toreuse? Get them filled again before you pack or just bring them with you so you can get all of themrefilled in the town you’re moving into. Its one less job to deal with and it will help save you fundsif you have these refilled (if your cartridge supports that). Think about how you will continue with your workwhilst doing the move. Will you make use of your laptop? Is it okay to workdevoid of the internet for some time after you’re already in the new household and your internet is still being reconnected there?You’ll also have to look intoshipping and delivery matters. If collecting items is a part of your occupation, you may wish to notify yourclients or associates about your imminentmove.

Reminding youraffiliates and customers of your move isextremely significant. Dont forget to give them your new home address and the date of your move at the same time so they know when to start delivering items into your new home address. Moving your home office can beaggravating, and tedious, but really worth it in the end. The little area you had to claim out of emergency could turn out to be a well-plannedplace in the new household. Always consider space before sentimentality. I know items with sentimental value may be really importantbut unless of course you have a huge van (ormoving into a large house), you may need to makeseveral considerations and ponder ur choicescautiously.

Packing is a painstakingly lengthy procedurebut it will be far more agonizing as soon as you’re into the new house and dont know exactly whereto start unpacking. I suggest you to label your boxes clearly and bewell organized throughout the procedure.
