Packing is both time consuming and tedious. But if you do it the right way it will all be worth it. Unpacking will even be easier for you as well. The first trick really is to use appropriate packing materials. For one, you will need sturdy boxes for your stuff. You would also need lots of tapes to seal the boxes. Bubble wrap, peanuts and packing papers would be necessary to provide cushion for your things. You would also need some markers. As much as possible, you would not want to waste your time and money on packing. That is why you should separate the items that have no use to you anymore. You can donate them or you can also sell them to get some extra cash. With fewer items to pack you would surely finish faster and you would even need less packing materials. Pack by rooms so similar items are boxed together. Use self cut tapes to make the work faster as well Use the markers to label the boxes so you will know where to unload them. This would again minimize the effort you need to exert come unpacking time. You would not have to drag boxes to and fro various rooms. You would also find the items you need even before you start unpacking.
