Like most aspects of your life, things usually go smoother with a little planning in play. This, of course, applies to packing your home when it’s time to move out. While the project as a whole can feel pretty overwhelming, a little organization will go a long way to streamline the process and make it easier on everyone involved.

First, break down your home into individual rooms. While it may seem obvious to keep kitchen items in grouped boxes labeled “kitchen,” when people pack in frantic mode they really just try to make sure everything’s collected and then will sort it out at the destination. Save yourself the trouble and have your home organized at LEAST by room!

Next, you should break things down by material. Glass stays together—well wrapped of course to protect from the shuffle, as do fabrics, books, and CDs. One thing you can spread throughout the boxes is your pillows or blankets, which can be used to double up padding on breakables.
