Moving hacks
The open-first bin
One bin rides last and opens first. It's the difference between a rough first night and an easy one.
Pack one bin you don't stack, don't bury and open the second you arrive.
Everything gets packed, then nobody can find a phone charger, a screwdriver or a roll of toilet paper.
Pick one bin. It rides last, it never gets stacked, and it's the first lid you open.
- Chargers and a power strip
- Basic tools for reassembling furniture
- Toilet paper, paper towels, soap, trash bags
- Medications and anything you take daily
- One change of clothes per person and a towel
- Scissors, a marker and snacks
Mark it clearly on two sides. Everyone in the house should know which one it is.
