How to Pack Fast and Move Fast

Last-minute moves are common and often the most stressful, but luckily there are a few things you can do to make it easier. If you have only a few weeks to pack up and head out, here are a few tips to consider:


Start early. As soon as you sign the dotted line for your next home, start making a to-do list. It also helps to pack the items you use less often first, such as fine china, books, and photo albums. 

Assign a room for packing. Choose a vacant room or one you rarely use. Label boxes to get yourself organized and keep packing tape, bubble wrap, and other materials on hand in there. Make sure to also keep a trash bag handy in the room, so you don’t have to walk back and forth across the house to throw out what you don’t need.

Be strategic. When you begin packing, mark each box with all the information you need to know to keep organized. Don’t forget to put together a box for “Day One”, which includes towels, toiletries, an extra pair of clothes, and other necessary items to make moving day easier. You can also make things simpler by labeling both sides of your boxes, that way you won’t waste time sorting through boxes to find what you need while packing and unpacking.

Pack lightly. Don’t make your move more stressful by packing too heavily. If your boxes are filled to the brim and weigh over 100 pounds, they can break the moment you lift them. So even if it means you have more boxes to carry, imagine how stressed you'd feel if you had to pack all over again.
