Moving day sneaks up fast — and packing last-minute is how dishes get broken and stress levels go through the roof. Here’s when you should really start packing so you’re not taping boxes at 2 AM. 👇

📅 1. 4–6 Weeks Before Moving Day

• Sort and declutter — the less junk, the fewer boxes.
• Pack off-season clothes, decor, and rarely used items.
• Label boxes by room.

📦 2. 2–3 Weeks Out

• Pack extra bedding, books, kitchen gadgets you barely use.
• Create a “donate” pile — drop it off now, not later.
• Order extra boxes so you don’t run out.

🔑 3. Moving Week

• Pack daily essentials last, like toiletries, dishes, and the clothes you’ll wear.
• Keep a “first night” box with must-haves.
