Moving and organizing tips

[RaggedyAnn]

I did the exact same thing years ago. I sorted out all of the I know I don't wants and got rid of them. Anything of value I kept with me in my bedroom. This was good for me, because my storage unit was broken into and luckily they got bored pretty quick. I agree with labeling boxes. The last time Andy and I moved we also put the intended room on the box, so that when friends and family helped us move, they brought the boxes to the right room and it saved a lot of time afterwards.

Andy also uses little freezer bags to tape any screws and allen wrenches and tapes them to the piece of furniture they coordinate with, that way we aren't trying to find pieces when we eventually put things back together.

I invested in a laundry sorter too with removable mesh bags, and that helped keep my room organized. I kept all of my bills and important papers in a hanging file.

Good luck!
