    My strategy is always: find motivation well in advance, pack a bunch of boxes of books, lose motivation, panic throw shit in to boxes just days prior to the truck rental

    Works every time

        When I move in I spend like 3hrs arranging my books until they're perfect while everything else sits in boxes behind me lol

          I took a picture of the book shelves before packing for emergency reference and then I numbered the boxes 1-16 and packed them mostly by order rather than size or shape. So I can just open each box numerically and put them on the shelf where I had them. My partner thinks I'm crazy but I have done this for their books too.
