    centrist you can easily pack everything in one day if you minimize the number of things you own

        My neighbor and colleague hired a cleaning service recommended by the apartment manager and they still ate his deposit.

        Unless you have a close relationship with your landlord you will get fucked.

    Moving is the worst shit hell in existence. Humans weren't meant to move, I wanna live in the same cozy hovel my grandsire died in.

    I will one-up you. Don't pack your coffee paraphernalia with a shitload of packing left to do and then switch to energy drinks, plural, on the last day. My fingers were cramping up so bad that I almost went to urgent care. That was my Friday. Now my stuff is in storage and I'm in the second temporary city of my nomadic life.

    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.
