Moving to a new home is a happy moment, but also a busy and stressful period, in which you have to make many decisions. Until you get settled in your new home and drink your first coffee in peace, you have an almost endless list of things to do, besides packing, transporting, unpacking, and organizing everything again.
Start early (at least 2 weeks in advance); do not wait until the last moment to sort your things and organize them in boxes or bags.
Sort and pack by categories: there is no better way to help you organize all the things you have than the one involving gathering them all in one place and sorting them. Imagine that you unpack and do not have to wonder why some of the spoons are mixed with clothes. Always pack similar items together.
Use labels! If you have packed your things by category, using labels guarantees that you will find them much easier when you need to determine what room they should reach. Put a label or note down, with the marker, directly on the box, what kind of things are inside. Keep in mind that you will have a lot to do and it will be difficult for you to know what is in a box that says "Various", so note down as many details as possible.
