Unless you choose to have a professional packer come into your home along with the professional movers (which can take out some of the stress along the way but can cost quite a bit), you will find that packing up all your own items and getting them moved can be one of the hardest, and most time-consuming, jobs that you have to keep track of when it is time to do the moving. No one is that fond of packing and you may worry that you are putting away items that you need.

The good news is there are a few simple tips that you can follow that will make summer packing, or packing to move to an apartment at any time of the year, a little bit easier. Some of these include:

# Pack as early as possible: It is so easy to underestimate the amount of time that it will take to pack all of your belongings and to sort it all out. A good thing to consider is to double the time that you think it will take and use that as your guideline along the way.

# Get the packing materials ahead of time: Nothing is worse than getting into the groove of packing and then find out that you have no packing supplies. You need to then stop and go get all of them, which can slow down the motivation. To avoid these interruptions, go out and get all of the necessary packing supplies ahead of time.

# Be a pro packer for the delicate items. You should not skimp on the bubble wrap and wrapping paper when it is time to pack up some of those fragile items. This will make sure that there is some added protection for all those breakables.

# Protect any of the items you own that are sensitive to heat. This can be plants, wax candles, media discs and even your electronics. Pack them carefully during the summer.
