You should start now because the more you can purge, the better. If you have to rush you’ll just pack everything and miss the opportunity. |

| The last 10% of the packing requires 90% of your time. |

| Weeks of preparing plus professionals. Hire people, this is worth it. |

| I did it in a week or so. Here’s the secret. Get all your supplies and do one entire room at a time, one room per day. Do it ALL. Don’t leave a few things here and there as they will add up. I had two small kids at the time and worked a few hours after they were in bed for the night. Very do-able. Allow two days for the kitchen though. |

This! I packed up 90% of my stuff in a weekend and was doing a little victory dance. Then pulled an all-nighter the day before the movers came and spent DAYS after they left clearing out the last of it. Hire a hunk hauler for the day before the movers arrive. That would have helped. |

Okay, obviously that was supposed to be junk hauler… |
