How Do I Start Packing to Move?

Packing is arguably the least enjoyable aspect of moving. First, you must find the packing supplies. Then, you have to organize all your belongings and get them packed away in boxes. Because it is such a daunting task, you might not know where to even start.

The best items to start packing are things that you will not need to use prior to your move. For example, books that have already been read, or clothes that are out of season (i.e., if you are moving in the summer, go ahead and pack your winter clothes). Additionally, artwork and décor can be packed or wrapped up early in the packing process, as these are not items that you actually need. As your move gets closer, you can start packing items that are less frequently used, such as your blender, waffle maker, and other small kitchen appliances and electronics. Leave the kitchen for last, making sure to purchase paper plates, cups, plastic utensils to use before packing all your plates and flatware away.
