There are many circumstances that cause you to need to pack fast. You want to get it done and get it done quickly, whether it was a last-minute move, you have a busy schedule, or you hate the process you are procrastinating too much. There are several things you can do to ensure that your fast packing job is still a strategic one from leaving your clothes on the hanger to getting rid of items you no longer need. To help you get on with the move, we at Prodigy Moving & Storage would like to offer some tips to help you expedite the packing process.
How Long Does Packing Usually Take & How Can I Get it Done Faster?
It doesn’t mean you have to pack poorly, just because you’re packing quickly. You don’t want to be left chaos. Consider applying the tips below to expedite your packing process.
1) Leave your dresser drawers full. Even if you are not in a rush while you pack, this tactic is always a good idea. There is really no reason not to do this, as long as your moving company, or whoever is moving the dresser, has the ability to move it with a little more weight.
2) Keep your clothes on the hanger. Just to hang them up again, it is a lot of extra work to take your clothes off the hanger and put them in a box. Leave the clothes on the hanger and skip the repetitious acts. You can wrap the clothes in large garbage bags or put them in wardrobe boxes, keep them safe and clean.
3) Solicit a packing team. With the promise of free beer and pizza, for example, lure your friends in for help. Having a packing party with your friends can actually be a lot of fun from blasting music to reminiscing about good times in the house.
4) While you pack, get rid of stuff. Before you start packing, this is always a good idea. Get rid of clothes you do not wear, furniture that will not fit in your new place as well as the belongings in storage you forgot you even owned, if you have the time and opportunity. Not only will this make packing easier, but it will also simplify unpacking as well.
5) Room-by-room packing. When you are packing up all your belongings, it is easy to get distracted and overwhelmed. While packing one room at a time, stay focused and relaxed. You could even assign a room to each person to speed up the process in the event you have help.
6) Consider hiring a reputable moving company. A professional moving company like Prodigy Moving & Storage can make a world of difference during your move, from packing to loading to transporting. Hiring a professional moving company isn’t usually something you can do last minute, depending on the season, unfortunately.
