Have All of Your Supplies Ready 

You can reduce the stress you feel during your move by planning ahead and collecting the right supplies. Get all of the boxes, tape, moving blankets, and bubble wrap that you’ll need from a hardware store.

Pack Commonly Used Items Last 

Moving can be expensive and time-consuming, but you can make it easier on yourself by starting with a packing list and limiting the number of items you bring. This will also save you time down the road if any problems come up. If you run into obstacles along the way, this technique will help you describe how to properly wrap your belongings so that nothing gets damaged.

Keep Clothing in Their Places

Smart traveling boils down to two things, time and money. Transportation can be expensive, so cut costs by keeping your clothing in the dresser. Instead of wasting time living out of a suitcase, use a bag to wrap several hanging items together, securing tight around the hanger for fewer wrinkles en route.

Label Everything

For a more efficient packing and unpacking process and a smoother transition overall, label each box clearly with its contents and destination. For example: “Books, candles, and entertainment for the Master Bedroom.”
