Moving can feel overwhelming, especially when you look around your home and wonder, “Where do I even start?” The good news is that packing doesn’t have to be stressful. With a little planning, the right supplies, and a simple strategy, you can go from overwhelmed to packed and ready to move.
1. Start With a Plan
Before putting anything into a box or tote, create a simple moving checklist. Decide what needs to be packed first and what you’ll need right up until moving day. Start with items you don’t use every day, such as seasonal decorations, books, extra dishes, and rarely used appliances.
2. Declutter Before You Pack
Moving is a great opportunity to get rid of things you no longer need. Donate, sell, recycle, or discard unwanted items before packing them. The less you move, the less time and space you’ll need.
3. Choose the Right Packing Supplies
Good packing supplies can make a huge difference. Reusable moving totes are sturdy, stackable, and eliminate the hassle of collecting and breaking down cardboard boxes.

4. Pack One Room at a Time
Instead of trying to pack your entire home at once, focus on one room at a time. Clearly label each tote with the room it belongs in and, if helpful, a quick description of what’s inside. This makes moving day and unpacking much easier.
5. Don’t Forget the Essentials
Set aside a few things you’ll need immediately after the move—such as toiletries, medications, chargers, important documents, basic kitchen items, and a change of clothes. Keep these items easily accessible rather than buried in a tote.
