Watch the weight

It can be very tempting to stuff as much as you possibly can into a box, but keep an eye on how heavy it will be. For example, use smaller boxes for books, as stuffing a large box or crate to its brim could make for a box you can’t even lift. In general, put heavy items in small boxes and lighter items in big boxes to keep from overexerting yourself on moving day.
