The most important thing I learned from my house-moving experience is that it the little things that slip your mind. On the first night, all 5 of us forgot either to bring our toothbrushes or left it packed somewhere in the piles of boxes. Interestingly, there was toothpaste but no toothbrush.

On my part, I remembered my laptop but unthinkingly left in the closet of the staging room and thus, it got buried behind the mountain of boxes.

Things I will have done differently:

  • Pack a proper overnight bag with all the essentials. Pretend that I am leaving for a weekend trip.
  • Leave the bag in an open, accessible place. (Not somewhere that it will get buried when the furniture/boxes come in.)

What to pack:

  1. Underwear (the more, the better, imo)
  2. 1 set of clothing for home/sleep
  3. 1 set of clothing for work/school
  4. Travel toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, shower things, skincare)
  5. Laptop and chargers for laptop/mobile/camera/etc

And of course the TOOL BAG (which we will talk about in the next post).
