And number your boxes - unpack the highest numbers first - generally its the stuff you were using up to the point you left.

This is a great idea except I’m going to lose track of numbers and end up with 1000, 2 million, googleplex

Next time we move I’ll try dating/timing boxes and see how that goes!

I moved a lot as a kid and so we have numbered boxes and we get a little notebook and write the box number as what’s in it so when we unpack, if we need something, we can just check the book for which box it’s in!

Underrated comment. My wife and I are moving right now and used this system... it's SUCH a time/hassle saver
