Ways to stay organized when moving

May 8, 2012 - Whether homebuyers are moving down the street or across the country, staying organized can make for a smoother relocation. DIY Life offers some tips for keeping organized during the sometimes stressful moving process.

According to the source, getting rid of some items will lighten the load of moving boxes while also keeping the new home from becoming cluttered. If homebuyers have time to host a yard sale, extra items may provide some last-minute cash to help cover the cost of relocating or serve as an emergency fund or recreational fund.

Carefully labeling moving boxes will also ensure a better move and also make unpacking a less tedious task. DIY Life recommends those moving label boxes by room so that movers can put them in the right place at the new property. Writing exactly what is inside can also be helpful when attempting to unpack items in a specific order.

While having one box for odds and ends will likely be needed, packing every box full of random items can make settling into a new home seem impossible.
