1. Start Packing Early
- Begin organizing and packing as soon as your moving date is confirmed.
- Time flies—what seems like “plenty of time” can quickly turn into a last-minute scramble.
- Give yourself at least one extra day beyond what you think you’ll need.
2. Study Your New Home’s Layout
- Request a floor plan with room dimensions from your landlord or previous owner.
- Plan furniture placement in advance to avoid guesswork on moving day.
- Use this opportunity to decide what to keep, donate, or give away.
3. Consider Senior Moving Services (If Needed)
Specialized movers understand the unique needs of older adults transitioning to new homes. They offer:
- Personalized planning to simplify your move
- Full packing/unpacking services

4. Tackle Packing Room by Room
- Start with the least-used areas of your home and work toward main living spaces.
- Breaking the process into smaller tasks makes it feel more manageable.
- Remember: Slow and steady wins the race—don’t try to do everything at once.
5. Label Everything Clearly
- Mark boxes with their destination room (kitchen, bedroom, etc.).
- Create separate categories for items you’re donating or giving away.
- This system will make unpacking in your new home much easier.
6. Remember: It’s Okay to Ask for Help
