Organization
Bright Stockholm Binder Stay organized with a moving binder. Info from your moving or truck rental company, to-do lists, your master packing list and a zip-top bag with memory sticks or other computer data backup can all be stashed inside. Closer to your move date, tuck in a folder with current bills, stamps and your checkbook. Make sure you keep this binder with you at all times during the move. For long-distance moves, you may also want to include flight information and vaccination records if you are traveling with pets.
Color-Coded Cord Labels Use an easy labeling system. Try color-coding box labels depending on which room the box will go in, and then number each box. Keep a separate record with a list of the contents of each numbered box. Then when you are unpacking, you can simply check your master list to see which box you need. I've used the numbering system for several moves now, and it works like a charm. Product pick: These color-coded labels are meant for cords, but they're also handy for labeling the tops and sides of your moving boxes.
First Alert 2037F Water and Fireproof File Cabinet Gather important papers in a fireproof lock box. Like backing up computer files, saving important documents in a lock box is something that we all should be doing, whether or not a move is in the near future. Gather birth certificates, passports and other vital records and sensitive financial documents in your box. When moving day arrives, this box should come with you in your car (or put the contents of it in your carry-on bag if flying).
The Mark Brothers Cable Labels Organize your cords now for easier setup later. Label each cord with the name of the device it goes to and you won't have to worry about searching for the one cord you need. For devices that have multiple cords, use colored dot stickers to label each cord and the hole it plugs into on the back of the device. Then when you go to reconnect it after the move, you can save yourself the frustration of figuring out what goes where.

Tucking it to the side can help provide privacy from the street. This Japanese-style shed by S. Baird Design stands out along the side yard.

Trying to navigate through a maze of bottles, jars and cans to reach something at the back of your pantry is a recipe for disaster. A Lazy Susan or two can solve this problem by allowing you to rotate pantry contents with a flick of the wrist.

Bags, wallets, belts and scarves can easily get lost in a big drawer. Stow these small items in clear bins instead, and place them on open shelving where you can find what you need at a glance.
Another kitchen-cabinet-inspired outfitting involves drawer pullouts, making it easy to see and grab all your shoes — none of them are getting neglected in the back of a drawer.
