1. Start Packing Early

It’s tempting to wait until the last minute to start packing. You’re busy, and packing everything by yourself takes up more time than you have. Instead of procrastinating and scrambling to get everything together in a day or two, start at least a week early, if possible. Dedicate a little bit of time each day to getting some packing done. This way, you can work at a steady pace and focus on organizing as you pack.

2. Keep, Toss, Donate, Sell

The less there is to pack, the better! While you’re packing, consider getting rid of things you don’t really want, need, or use anymore. If you haven’t touched it in a year or more, it might be time to let it go. You can donate these items to charity, sell them, or throw them in the trash if they’re unfit for use. You’ll feel much better with less clutter around, and packing will go MUCH more quickly!

3. Organize Your Belongings

The last thing you want when you’re unpacking is to find yourself standing over a sea of unmarked boxes, completely clueless as to what might be inside each one. This is why you don’t want to throw everything into boxes without rhyme or reason. Go room-by-room when you’re packing so you can keep similar items together. Label each box so you can easily place boxes and their contents in the correct room once you’re ready to start unpacking. Be sure to pack essentials like your toothbrush, toothpaste, medications, shampoo, etc. in a separate bag so you can find them easily during those first few days in your new place!

4. Contact NYC’s Best Full- Service Moving Company: Shleppers!

You might be living alone, but that doesn’t mean you have to handle moving all by yourself. It’s safer and more efficient to enlist the help of a moving company to ensure your move goes as smoothly as possible. Moving can be stressful, but choosing moving professionals who know what they’re doing can drastically minimize that stress. They can load and unload the moving truck for you, stack your possessions properly to avoid damage, and drive the truck to your new place so you have one less thing to worry about.
