A transitional move can be complex because it generally means moving twice. But if you handle things pragmatically you can make it a whole lot easier on yourself. Here are some tips to help:
Pack Twice
First pack items that you won’t need anytime soon. These items can be put into storage or out of the way until you are ready and fully settled.
Mark items that are going with you to your transitional location. These items are typically packed last. Different colored marker or different colored labels can help you ensure that your transitional boxes don’t get mixed up with boxes that will be stored at a different location or for a longer period of time.
