A Smarter Way to Move
There’s nothing quite like a fresh start in a new space after a smart move. But before the excitement sets in, moving can feel… well, chaotic. From cardboard boxes to forgotten cords, it’s easy to get overwhelmed.
At Smartly Organized, we’ve helped hundreds of families move with more ease and less stress. Here are our go-to organizing strategies to help make your next move a smart one:
1. Start With a Pre-Move Purge
Moving is the perfect time to let go of what no longer serves you. Go room by room and ask:
- Do I use this?
- Do I love this?
- Will this fit my next space?
Donate, sell, or recycle anything that’s just taking up space.
2. Pack With Purpose
- Label boxes by room AND purpose (e.g. “Office – Daily Essentials”)
- Use color-coded tape or stickers for each room
- Pack a clearly labeled “First Night” box with must-haves
3. Organize As You Unpack
Don’t just transfer the chaos, use your move as a reset.
- Set up systems as you go: drawer dividers, labeled bins, baskets
- Unpack with function in mind, not just familiarity
- Use vertical space and zones to keep things tidy from the start
