while helping reduce the use of waste material. Rent some plastic and carton boxes for transferring
things to minimize the breakage of furniture. Use free boxes from local stores to pack additional items.
Pack all the important stuff at one place
Keep all the important things like your birth certificate, proof of identity, house documents, lease
information, keys to the new house, etc. in one place. Pack those things last, but also keep them on your
person at all times so that you can access them if you ever happen to need them. When you pack, pack
with the old and very true saying of, “Last in, first out.” So keep that in mind, especially when packing
the important things that you might need immediate use of.
Don’t forget to label all the boxes
Label the packed boxes with words that describe the content inside them. For example, if you packed
your favorite novels in a box, label it the box as “Books”. Labeling may look and feel like a time-
consuming task but will help you a lot while unpacking. Typically when you move, unpacking takes
several days. By labeling boxes ahead of time, you can unpack necessities without having to worry about
going through all of your boxes to have the items you need. It will save you a lot of time in the end.
Contact your friends or family in the new city beforehand
If you have any relatives or people you know in the new place, then announce your arrival to them
before you arrive. They can assist you in moving and can also help you learn more about the new place.
Just remember to reward those friends or people who helped you with moving and, of course, enjoy
your new home and location!
