How to Pack for a Move in One Day?

Hi Rajat, I saw you asking how to pack for a move in one day and can help. I moved within a day last month and used a technique of dividing the packing into each room. I am describing that below. 

How to Pack and Move in One Day?

Here is a quick process you can follow:

1. Start by packing an essential bag you’ll need when you shift to the new place. Do so in the beginning to avoid packing the stuff.

2. Begin your day early in the morning and make a list of everything you must pack and what needs to be donated. Make notes of the big and heavy items likewise.

3. Choose the heavy, delicate items to pack first. This way, most of the space will get cleared, giving you enough space to pack and think about what needs to be done. 

4. Pack each room separately and store the items in the boxes labelled with the room they belong to. 

5. Keep the items to be donated separately, as you pack your way from one room to another. 

6. Store the items in your bags to save space and do things quickly by reducing the number of bags needed. 

7. Stack the boxes after labelling them. This will help clear the clutter and keep the space free for movement.

8. Donate the items you no longer need and load the rest. 

This is how to pack to move in one day.

I am someone who does everything at the last moment. When I was moving house, I kept rescheduling packing my house, and one day before moving I started to pack. There was so much stuff in my home that I didn’t know where to start. I called my cousin and asked her how to pack for a move in one day. 

How Do You Pack for a Move in One Day?

She came to my house with all the packing materials to help me. Before we got started, she told me about the plan. Here is what she told me.

• Pack a 72-Hour Kit

The first thing she told me about how to pack and move in one day, was to pack a 72-hour kit. I wasn’t aware of that and asked her. She told me that this pack is about putting together all the daily essentials in one place. Daily essentials such as combs, shampoo, toothbrush, medication, etc. According to her, a few days before the move and a few days after can be a little chaotic and this pack can help in that scenario. 

• Packing Each Room Seperately

She told me that packing each room at a time would be the right choice. She suggested that I go to each room and start packing each and every item using bubble wrap. Then I put them in boxes and labelled them accordingly. 

• Make A Throw And Donate Pile

She told me when it comes to how to pack to move in one day, it's best to throw and donate items that I don't need. Then suggested that I make two piles of things that I want to donate and throw. I did that and asked my landlord to help me donate the stuff that was in the donation pile. 

That’s all she told me on how to pack for a move in one day. I hope this helps.
