How to Get Packing When You Don't Know Where to Start

By Julie DeLong, A-1 Freeman Moving Group 

From managing your initial move to packing when you find yourself too overwhelmed to think, these easy tips from professional movers in Dallas can help you start setting one box on top of another until your home is packed and ready to go.

Start out with Boxes and a Permanent Marker

Begin with that first carton. Obtain a stack of 'Medium' packing cartons along with a permanent marker. Get started with the areas you use the very least, such as the garage or den. Clear cabinets into cartons (with padding, as needed) and label the carton for its contents. After that begin the process of another box. Then another. Empty your off-season clothing directly into one box as well as your backup toiletries straight into another. Clear your books and desk drawers in one box along with your less used kitchen pans into another.

One box at a time, label by label, your house will get packed.

Split Up Your Packing into Feasible Portions

If perhaps packing the entire residence might appear to be a big task, break it up. Pack your office to begin with, or everything in your dresser you don't wear weekly. Pack up the storage areas, they might be pretty much half-packed anyway. Section your residence into areas, leaving your most-used items for last. Tackle packing one evening and weekend at a time and congratulate yourself on reaching milestones.

Do away with Items You Have No Need For

Moving is an ideal time to remove your possessions of anything you don't need or don't want to bring along with you. Those shirts you never wear, the dishes you won't ever cook with, or the furniture too shabby to be worth the truck space can get booted to the curb or - even better - donate them. There might be a young couple who urgently needs an old sturdy sofa or a family who could really use that extra bed.

Dispose of items you have no need for. The things you would not miss in the new home is a candidate to lessen your load and reduce the amount you will need to pack.

Allow Yourself Enough Time

If you are not a professional mover in Dallas, start out early. Most people cannot pack their house over a long weekend, or even over three or four weekends. So, allow plenty of lead-up time to pack the residence - and acknowledge if it is time to call in the moving company reinforcements if you merely do not make ample progress before your moving date approaches. This is common, not everyone is a packing machine.

Work with Professional Movers

Professional movers in Dallas are a crucial aid when you are preparing for a move. Lots of people use movers to pack just their big furniture and the majority of fragile items, relying on their knowledge to ensure these items reach the new residence safely. You can even rely on a moving company in Dallas to take you past the finish line in case your personal moving attempts aren't quite completed when moving-truck weekend arrives.
