Welcome to Feature Friday! Each week I will be featuring a guest tipper (mainly my friends and family whose ideas I see and must share). This week is my wonderful sister Amy and her idea for organizing moving day!
We went to help her pack boxes and she had an ingenious color coding system. There were different colored sticky notes for each room. We would write the room at the top of the sticky note and then draw a line under which we would write the contents of the box.
We taped these notes to the sides of the boxes to be easily visible in stacks.
This way when the boxes arrive at the new house People won’t even have to read the labels they can just take them to the room according to color. This also eliminates having to have someone stand at the door directing where the boxes go so everyone can do the lifting and make it that much faster!
Great idea Amy! You are now entered in to the hall of fame as Tipper of the Week!
that is an awesome idea. Nick and I are moving in Feb 2010 and even though a moving company is doing it that would make it go so much faster.
