How to pack with little time on your hands?

If you have other things to do in that week when you should be packing, then that might be a problem, because, in this way you don’t have few days, or a week or two to pack, you have even less time then that.

So, pay attention and dedicate the two days to everything else you have to finish before your move. It’ s just one answer to how to pack in a timely manner, there’s more.

Boxes are important

Boxes are really important for a move, especially when you are in a hurry. Find boxes, find a lot of boxes. If you cannot find the boxes for free, buy them. They are not expensive and you have them all kinds.

A hectic few days are ahead of you

Try to make packing easy for you. Even though it is true what we said earlier, that packing in a short-term notice is not a big deal, the fact is that a very busy week is ahead of you. This means that while you are packing you won’t be having a lot of time for much else but that. So, when it comes to eating, your body will have to indulge in some fast food delivery. Just for this week, and then back to normal food. You may find this advice delicious, but we all know that it is not good to eat fast food throughout one whole week.

However, you will manage. You have to, because it is not the same to take a break to eat a slice of pizza in your apartment while packing, and going out for a lunch with a friend to a nearby restaurant. It will take you at least a couple of hours, and that is something that at this point you cannot afford.

How to pack fast without panicking!

What is extremely important when you are moving in a short-term notice is not to panic. Because if you start to panic, not even two weeks will be enough to pack. So, think about that, and come to your senses. What is important now is to continue packing. It is the fourth day for example out of seven and you haven’t packed even half of your belongings, again, do not panic. There is a simple solution to it. Just keep packing. That simple. In no time, your moving boxes will be filled with your items and your apartment will be empty if you keep positive thoughts.

Ask for help

There is no shame to ask for help for anything, none the less for packing. Anyone who is a true friend of yours will be more than happy to help you pack. And, let us not forget the most important thing. By having a friend to help you pack you also have someone to talk to while packing. The time will fly by but not in vain.

So, start dialing, call a friend, order a pizza and the day of bonding and packing can start.

Moving on a short notice may seem like a problem. However, it doesn’t have to be if you don’t think of it as a problem. Some people start to pack and move on time and still don’t finish everything in a timely manner. On the other hand, there are people who are doing better when they are under pressure. Either way, moving is stressful but it all comes from a point of view and the perspective. You can see that as a problem or you can see that as a challenge. It is all up to you. By choosing not to stress about it you bought yourself more time for packing and moving.
