I’m in the middle of packing for my move next week and honestly, it’s driving me crazy. I thought I was organized, but now there are boxes everywhere, and I can’t find half my stuff. Between work, packing, and trying to deal with the movers’ schedule, I feel like I’m about to lose it. How do you all handle the stress of moving without completely falling apart? Any real tricks that actually help?      

I’m not moving right now, but reading this thread makes me think about how much stuff people accumulate over the years. It’s kind of wild how stressful it can be just dealing with things we’ve collected. I started doing a “mini declutter” every few months just to keep things lighter — feels good to know I won’t be buried in boxes when the time comes.      

I totally get what you mean — moving can mess with your head. I used to try doing everything myself and ended up exhausted. What helped me a lot last time was hiring one of the moving companies I found online. They handled the packing and transportation while I just focused on cleaning up and organizing essentials. Honestly, having someone else take care of the heavy lifting made the whole process feel so much smoother.
