When preparing for a move, it is best to start packing early to ensure a smooth transition. The time required for packing will vary based on the size of your home. It is recommended to begin the packing process earlier than anticipated. 

For larger homes, two months should be sufficient if one box is packed daily, while smaller homes may only need one month. Start with packing items and rooms that are used less frequently, such as seasonal items like garden tools and holiday decorations. 

Decluttering and donating unwanted items before the move can simplify the process. Consider having a garage sale or donating to charity to get rid of unnecessary items. 

Creating a detailed inventory list is helpful, especially for large collections of items. Packing one room at a time can keep things organized and make unpacking easier. 

Be mindful not to exceed the weight limit of 15 kilos per box, especially for international moves. Pack light items in larger boxes and heavy items in smaller boxes to prevent injuries and damage. 

Use plastic bags for spillable items, roll clothes to save space, and use roll tubes for cables and wiring to streamline the packing process. 

Store all valuables in one secure place and keep important documents like birth certificates and passports with you during the move.
