The secret to successful, painless packing for a move is to embrace austerity. Think “bare bones,” if you will. It takes a severely disciplined approach to pack extensively so far in advance, depriving yourself of comforts and paring down to only necessities, and even among those, being brutally unyielding in packing away the necessities that aren’t really necessary.
You want to be austere when packing, especially if you are doing it yourself rather than having a moving company in Camden County do it for you. One reason is that you need to start weeks before your actual move, and packing certain things means living without them for a while. It isn’t easy, but it certainly can help matters greatly on moving day.
Many people think packing is a drag because they rush through it, often waiting up until the last few days before the moving company in Camden County arrives and starts loading furniture onto the truck. But if you can make the decision and the commitment to live without a few things for a month or so – things like books, pictures, knick-knacks, extra blankets, off-season clothing, toys and gadgets, office supplies, and other various items – packing can become a time of productive self-discipline and encouragement. You may even learn how much extra stuff you have that isn’t really necessary.
In any case, plan ahead by buying all the materials you will need to pack. Your moving company in Camden County may provide these or sell supplies at decent prices. Start three or four weeks ahead of time packing everything you deem to be unnecessary and that you can do without for a while. Then pack all the fragile items from your kitchen because you will want to take some extra time to pack it securely and with great care. Small appliances, your toaster (you can use the oven to make toast), your blender, juicer, ice-cream maker, and the Japanese wok you never use all can be packed early.
Pack bottles that have never been opened, but think about donating canned food items to a local pantry. The weight that canned food adds doesn’t make it worth taking those kinds of items in the truck, since you will be paying your moving company in Camden County by weight. But you may want to keep your good vintage wine, or even reasonably priced bottles, other spirits, olive oil, syrup, and other types of liquids that come in bottles.
Label your boxes systematically so that your lighter, fragile items can be placed on the top load in the truck. Once you have gone through your home and packed all the unnecessary items, you may be surprised to discover how little packing you have left to do before your moving company in Camden County arrives on moving day.
