One of the most difficult rooms that people have when it comes time to pack and move is the home office. Why is this room such a headache to pack? Most home offices are going to have numerous cords and electrical equipment running around the room, along with files and folders that cannot be lost. So what can you do? We have compiled some great tips to make packing your home office even easier!
What to do with Those Cords
Cords are the one item that most people hate. After all, you trip on them when they are in the floor. And if they were to be packed wrong, you could suffer a short in the cord. For those who have a lot of cords, consider winding the cord, and then tying this with a rubber band or even a piece of cloth. Other people prefer to shove the cord into an empty paper towel or toilet paper roll. Either way, the cord will be snug and secure, and most importantly out of the way.
Pack Electronics in Original Boxes
Not everyone is able to keep the original boxes for their electronics, which is understandable. However, for those who have kept these, store the electronics in the original boxes. This is often the better choice, since these boxes were designed to keep the product safe during shipping, which is ultimately what you are going to be doing upon moving.
Organize the Paperwork
Most importantly, organize the paperwork. Choose to purchase cardboard filing boxes to file the paperwork and ensure that you label this box correctly. Though you may have to take some time to do this, when you get to your new home, it will be great knowing that you can easily find what you need.
While packing a home office can seem daunting, it can be mastered. Start early and stay organized. In the end, you will find that it is worth the extra time and effort.
