Write everything down! You’ll thank yourself later. Before you pack even one box, create a simple record keeping system. Create a computer-printed list of numbers with a space to write the contents, have a notebook for the job. You’ll place a number on each box you pack and list the contents on your list. Don’t put the list down unless it’s in a place you’ll call Moving zone. This is where you’ll find your labels, marking pens, box tape, and other supplies. When describing the box contents, be specific — “A-D files” is better than “paper work, and “Aunt Lucie’s dishes” rather than “misc. kitchen”
