Inventory before packing
Walk through each room and separate items to move, donate, recycle or dispose of. Box estimates are more useful after obvious excess has been removed.
Sequence the work
Pack rarely used items first, keep daily essentials accessible, and create a final-night box for documents, medicines, chargers and basic kitchen items.
Label for the destination
Mark each box with its destination room and a short contents description. Numbering boxes creates a simple completeness check at arrival.
Practical checklist
- Keep important documents and valuables with you.
- Photograph cable connections before disconnecting equipment.
