We highly recommend that you keep with you anything that you’ll need on the day of your move, or after your move. Previous clientele have often kept with them items such as: toilet paper, phone chargers, laptops, tablets, books, toys for their children, and various snacks. We suggest that any medication you or someone else in the household may use be kept on hand. In addition, important documents, such as passports, and birth certificates be with you as well. To make this process smoother, you should designate one or two boxes, or bags to house important items, and then bring it to your new destination yourself.
You should first decide what will go into which box, that way it’ll be easy for you to group similar items together. To avoid stress once your move is completed, ensure that items in the same box are all going to the same room.
Try to label both the top and side of your boxes, and have a list on hand of what items are in each box. On these labels, have the general category, as well as the room in which they will be going into.
To do this, it would be best to use a measuring tape that can measure both the length and width of a room. It is important to make sure that no objects are in the way, as this can alter the accuracy of your measurement. Once you’ve gotten the measurement of both the length and the width, multiply those numbers by each other to get the square footage.
