Preparation
There is so much to do in preparation for your move: set up mail forwarding,
change over your utilities, acquire packing supplies, and so on. The move,
itself, is really the easy part as you'll spend most of your time packing and
unpacking. If you want everything else to go as smoothly as possible, you'll
need to prepare well. It's a time-consuming and detailed process.
Packing
More than anything, I hate packing boxes because of how long it takes to do it
well and how many things there are to consider. On top of that, you have to
think about what you can't pack and actually need on a day-to-day basis.
When you're surrounded by everything you can't yet pack, it gets a little
stressful.
Labeling and Managing Your Inventory
Unmarked boxes are no fun when unpacking, but there are so many ways to
keep track of your stuff—and label it informatively—that it can be hard to find
the best system. The most common method involves a black marker and room
names on your boxes. I find this method really annoying, however, because
you generally have to bend yourself in an awkward position to write on the
box. Space to write is also a concern, especially when it comes to smaller
boxes. Searching the list for what you're looking for can also be more difficult
since 1) you have a lot of items on the box and 2) you can't search handwritten
text. I think inventory and labeling is one of those things best handled
on a computer—or at least electronically in some way.
