Moving from place to place is never an easy task. Besides getting up and changing everything about your lifestyle, you also have to worry about the actual move like if your things are going to get to the destination in one piece, if you are going to forget anything, or if you are going to have to do any container sharing in order to get your goods to the destination. Many of things can be made less stressful with a few easy tips.
The first thing you can do to make the move as easy as possible is make a list of everything that needs to be moved and where it needs to be moved. Once you make the giant list you can then start the actual packing. When you are packing things into boxes or containers make sure to make a list on the outside of the box so that you know what is in it. When you are container sharing it is extremely difficult to try to find everything you need because you could have tons of different things in the box, by creating a list for the outside of the box or container this will make it a lot easier when you are packing and unpacking.
One helpful hint to finding stuff when you are container sharing is to go onto the computer and number the page this makes the paper tidier so when you are trying to find out what is in each box a list is right there. Also, be sure to be specific when you are making the list, it will save you a lot of time in the long run when you are looking for something or unpacking. This will make it so you do not bring the wrong boxes to the wrong places when you are unpacking, or stick something in storage when you made need it in the near future.
When you are container sharing and putting multiple items in one box it is also very easy to color coordinate and pack the same type of stuff in the same color box for example, all clothing should be packed in blue boxes, or all kitchen supplies should be in red boxes. Or you could do it another way, you could pick a different color for each room in the new house and then you will designate the boxes that you are packing in an appropriate color, you can do this with colored stickers in order to keep it clean. This also can be very helpful for people who may be moving your stuff for you because it allows them to know where everything goes as well so they are not leaving boxes in the middle of your home. The move will also be made easier if you try to buy different size boxes, everything you own is a different size and buy purchasing boxes that are different sizes you will be able to fit stuff in the boxes easier.
