When it comes to packing ahead of a move, it’s better to start sooner rather than later. But although it makes perfect sense to grab the bull by the horns and get the task of packing done as soon as you can before the Toronto, ON moving company arrives on moving day, that doesn’t mean that you will necessarily look forward to packing scores of boxes. If you’re having a hard time motivating yourself to get at it and to stay at it, here are some tips.
Tip #1: Create a Checklist
Even the most unpleasant of tasks will go smoother if you have a game plan in place. So it makes sense to create a packing checklist and to refer to it often while packing. You’ll also see things starting to take shape as you pack boxes, tape them up, and stack them. As you progress and are able to check things off the list, you will get a sense of accomplishment.
Tip #2: Pack Strategically
Packing strategically will help you to get ahead of schedule so that you’re not so stressed out down the home stretch. Are there rooms in your home that are pretty much unoccupied? Why not get started in those rooms? What about bookcases? Would you be inconvenienced by packing up all your books now rather than waiting until a later date? The more you can do quickly, the easier things will be. This should give you the motivation to keep going.
Tip #3: Break Up Big Task into Multiple Small Tasks
Instead of tacking everything at once, try breaking down the task of packing boxes into several smaller tasks. So, for instance, you might want to start with the basement. After you’ve packed everything that needs to be packed there, you’ll be able to cross it off your checklist. Accomplishing a small task will give you the motivation to tackle others.
Tip #4: Ask Your Friends for a Hand
Many hands make light work, goes the old saying. If you need some motivation to get on with the task of packing, ask some friends to come over. You can order in pizza, watch movies, listen to music, or do whatever else you can think of to make things more fun. You might be surprised at how much you can get done when, with a group of pals, you’re having a lot of fun while packing.
