If you are doing your own packing, here are a few tips which will help you on your way. 

• Start packing several boxes each day, a few weeks prior to your move. Be sure that the items you pack won't be needed before your move, of course. By pacing yourself, you'll be more organized and the job won't be so overwhelming.
  
  
• Pack on a room-by-room basis and do one area of the room at a time. It's best not to mix items from different rooms in one box. To prevent small items from being lost or mistakenly thrown out with the packing paper, wrap miniature knickknacks and other small items in brightly-colored tissue paper before placing them in the box.
  
  
• On the top and front of each box, write a general description of the contents and indicate the room from which it came (or which it will go into in your new home). Use different coloured dot stickers for each box; then, at your new house, hang a balloon of a corresponding color outside the room where you want the colour-coded boxes to be delivered.
  
  
• Use only unprinted newsprint paper to wrap items. Regular newspapers are messy and can soil your possessions.
  
  
• Use clean boxes designed for moving. Boxes obtained from grocery stores are not always clean, and may not withstand the weight of the items that you'll be putting in them. Also, their odd sizes tend to make loading more difficult.
  
  
• Unpack breakables over the box you're taking them out of; that way, if you happen to drop an item, it will land on some packing material, thereby reducing its chance of breakage.
  
  
• Use extra care when packing flammables such as paint, varnish and thinners, gas, aerosol cans, nail polish and remover, corrosives, and cleaning fluids and detergents.
  
  
• If you are using a removals company, transport irreplaceable items yourself such as, photos, financial papers and assets (bank statements, insurance policies, stock certificates, etc.), legal documents (wills, passports. etc.), valuables, (jewelry, coin and stamp collections, etc.), and medical and family history records.
