This is the reason why you need to plan well for your move. You need to remember that when you pack your belongings always consider the weight your box and not the spare space where you could put more items.

You will be more efficient and effective in cleaning your old house. You can even have time to fix some parts of your house that you need to fix before you move out.
Moving does not only involve packing and moving out. It needs planning and organizing your belongings properly. It is the best time to organize your possessions and let go of items that does not serve any purpose in your daily activities.
