I’m moving next month, and honestly, I have no idea how to pack efficiently without turning my house into total chaos. Last time I moved, I ended up throwing things randomly into boxes, and unpacking was a nightmare. Clothes were mixed with kitchen utensils, fragile items got damaged, and I couldn't find anything for weeks! Does anyone have solid strategies for organizing things properly? Also, any tips on what supplies I should get to avoid breaking my stuff this time?

Moving can be a disaster if you don’t plan it out well. First off, you’ll need sturdy boxes of various sizes, packing tape, bubble wrap for fragile items, and labels – labels are your best friend! The trick is to categorize everything by room and function. Keep all kitchen items together, clothes separately, and important documents in a clearly marked folder.
A key tip: don’t overpack large boxes! It’s tempting to fill them up, but if they get too heavy, they’ll be impossible to lift (learned this the hard way). Instead, put heavier things in smaller boxes and lighter items in bigger ones. Also, color-coding labels by room makes unpacking a breeze. If you want to make things even easier, consider hiring a licensed company to handle the move for you. I recently used one from this site, and they were lifesavers. They even gave me great advice on how to pack efficiently and provided all the packing materials I needed. Highly recommend checking them out if you want to avoid the stress!
