- Pack on the very last day.
- Freak out.
- Get emotional about material possessions.
- Keep getting distracted by facebook.
- Chuck stuff randomly into a bag. Unpacking will be a bitch. I promise.
- Forget to eat amidst the packing frenzy.
DO:
- Think positive - it's really NOT as bad as you think. Really!
- Give yourself at LEAST 3 full packing days.
- Plan - Look at your space and divide it up into categories/sections. Chances are your room/house is already nicely categorized (ie. cosmetics, clothes, kitchenware, etc)
- Work on 1 or 2 sections at a time. Don't look at the WHOLE mess at once. Attack bit by bit.
- Put some happy/motivational music on. Dance, sing, smile, cry while you pack.
- Give yourself rewards and breaks in between. It's no small task!
- Be as unsentimental as you can - a lot of accumulated junk can be thrown or given away. Don't pack it up, ship it, and then end up not using it or throwing it away. Yeesh.
- Remember - you are packing stuff away. Not your life. Differentiate the two.
Wish me good luck!! :)
