1. Donate, sell, or throw away everything you don't want to take with you. Some organizations that accept donations will pick them up at no charge. Check in your area.
2. When labeling boxes, mark the room and the items that are in the box, for example: “Kitchen: bowls”. Mark on the top (so the person carrying it can see) and at least on side (so when boxes are stacked the label can still be read.)
3. Keep packing supplies together: tape, scissors, and markers for labeling boxes. An apron with pockets or a brightly colored bag keeps the supplies at your fingertips.
4. To prepare for moving day, pack your luggage as if you are spending a night at camp. When you get to your new home, you’ll have easy access to a change of clothing, pajamas, personal care items, a towel, and bedding.
5. Pack a small toolbox with the tools you’ll need for taking apart furniture and putting it back together at the new location.
6. Set aside several boxes for packing up the last of the household belongings on moving day.
