May marks National Moving Month, kicking off a peak moving period for Americans. Last year alone, 40 million people moved, and similar numbers are anticipated this year.

Expert Tips:
Vicki Norris, founder of Restoring Order and author of "Restoring Order: Organizing Strategies to Reclaim Your Life," advises that the secret to efficient packing lies in having a structured plan. Here's how to take control of your move:
1. Declutter Before You Pack:
Begin by shedding items you no longer need. Norris calls this process "pruning." Donate or discard items that are broken, outgrown, or unused. Tackle this room by room, and don't forget storage spaces like your garage.2. Gather Packing Essentials:
Ensure you have the right tools: boxes, markers, newspaper, bubble wrap, scissors, and measuring tape. Consider using Glad ForceFlex trash bags for flexibility?"they stretch to prevent rips, making them perfect for soft items like clothes and toys.3. Create a Move Plan:
Sketch a floor plan of your new home and decide how each room will be used. Label your boxes according to their destination in the new space, making unpacking more straightforward.4. Set a Timeline:
Mark important dates on your calendar, including real estate deadlines, packing days, and the moving truck's arrival. This keeps your move organized and prevents last-minute chaos.5. Pack Strategically:
