Moving to a new home can be an exciting but daunting task, especially when it comes to packing up your current home. If you only have one week to pack your home, don’t panic – with a little organisation and preparation, you can get the job done. 

Here are a few tips to help you pack your home with limited time available:

Start with a plan

Before you start packing, create a plan to help you stay organised and on track. Having a plan in place will help you avoid feeling overwhelmed and ensure you’re making the most of your time.

Declutter first

Moving is the perfect opportunity to declutter your home and get rid of any items you no longer need or use. This will not only make packing easier, but it will also help you start fresh in your new home.

Gather supplies

To make packing easier, you’ll need to gather all the necessary supplies. The Box Shop at Indoor Self Storage has everything you need to make packing a breeze.

Pack strategically

When it comes to packing, it’s important to pack strategically and make the most of the space you have. Start by packing the items you use the least, such as seasonal decorations or extra bedding and end off with the items you’ll need immediately when you make the move. 

Enlist help

Packing your home in one week can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be done alone. Having extra hands on deck will make the process go faster and smoother.

Take breaks

Packing can be both physically and mentally exhausting, so it’s important to take breaks. This will help you stay focused and energised throughout the packing process.

Stay positive

Moving can be stressful, but it’s important to stay positive throughout the process. Try to focus on the excitement of your new home and the new memories you’ll make there.

Packing your home in one week may seem daunting, but following these tips will help you get it done in no time!
