2. 5 To 7 Weeks Before Moving Day: Prepare Packing Plan

It simply aims at deciding where to start first. Start with packing rarely or infrequently used belongings. Prepare the room-by-room packing checklist to take enough time to pack fragile items to pack kitchen items. You will need more time to leave a messy room for last-minute addition or subtraction of goods to use last week before moving for packing ultimate essentials. Avoid packing all in a single day or making unachievable targets; it will get very hectic, therefore breakdown your work and achieve daily targets. 

3. 4 Weeks Before Moving Day: Plan What To And What Not To Carry 

Sort out the items that have to be carried and declutter your storage, not everything you will carry for your move. Four weeks prior, you got to plan with the belongings and exclude either not-so-essential or waste items. 

You can sell some items that are in good condition for some money or can donate them to get a satisfying feeling of helping someone needy. If the donation isn’t possible, then just give away certain usable things, like leftover gasoline, engine oil, etc., to your interested neighbor and friends. Moreover, to get rid of waste items, find the correct place to dispose of them safely by contacting the local community. 

4. 3 Weeks Before Your Move: Pack Infrequently Used Belongings 

Pack off-season clothes, shoes, and other accessories like decorative items, specialized tools, crockeries, and other equipment you won’t need before the moving day. Pack spare linens, towels, toiletries, and other extra essentials beforehand, and label all the boxes using a permanent marker. Packing infrequently used belongings will not cause any disturbance. Instead, it will make your process more sorted and easy. 

5. 2 Weeks Before Your Move: Pack The Rest Of The Essentials 

Pack the rest left over the essentials like start with kitchenware, all the kitchen appliances, and other goods of the kitchen, obviously except the ones you will be using in the left days. Pack fragile and sensitive items that need to be handled delicately. You will have to invest a good amount of time due to their tendency to break with little ignorance. Therefore, pay extra attention to the boxes containing fragile items, then continue with packing items like jewelry, accessories, clothes, and dresses which you won’t be wearing before your move.

6. 1 Week Before Your Move: Check Your Packed Items 

Try to catch up with the items you might have forgotten to pack. Label all the moving boxes accurately, and for the boxes which are essential and basic, you can mark them as “open it first” do check if all boxes are taped and items are wrapped correctly. It will get your journey and experience more organized since there is one week left before the move. You have to recheck if all the belongings except the immediate one, which you will require in the remaining days, are packed properly. In case any changes are required, you can make sure you still have time. 

7. 5 Days Before Your Move: Keep The Wiggle Room Open 

Five days left before your move, and your 90% packaging has to be completed now, but keeping the wiggle room open is essential and required. You can’t pack all the clothes, kitchen, and bathroom items. You got to use basic ones. Therefore keep the room open for last-minute additions and adjustments.
