Color-Coded Boxes

Increase the odds of your boxes reaching their correct destination by implementing a color-coded sign on the outside of the doors on each room in your house. That way, the movers (or your friends who are helping you) can look at the colored labels on the boxes and know exactly which room to put them in. Not only does this free you from having to be the moving day “traffic director,” but it also gets all of the boxes in the right rooms from the beginning, so you don’t have to do more heavy-lifting once your helpers have left.
