When you have convinced your army of helpers to assist you with your move, you can write a list of all the jobs and assign them to individuals. This will help you to stay organized and keep on track, you might even be done sooner than you expect.
If you do one room at a time, and pack everything in that room before moving onto the next, it will make unpacking much easier. Lots of boxes and tissue paper or bubble wrap for delicate items will be needed, as well as brown tape and marker pens.
