Nothing like pulling the drawers out of every dresser, side table, or stand and emptying the miscellaneous items into boxes. It’s a major hassle to sort through all those boxes and return your items to their rightful drawer-homes.

So just leave the drawers be.

Why not just leave everything in your drawers instead of packing it up in boxes? 

This technique is just too good to be true, isn’t it… 

Nope! It’s just one of the best-kept secrets out there. 

  • Pack small drawers in the bottom of boxes, cover with a towel, and fill with other items to keep things in place.
  • Wrap drawers with plastic wrap (like in Moving Hack #2) to see which drawer needs to go where, and to keep your items from moving around on the trip!

Happy moving!
