I nEEEEddd to be packing up this dang house yet here I sit with a cat on my lap drinking a margarita and watching Big Bang. :dizzy
 
I know the feeling. I started packing up my apartment yesterday. Can you promise yourself a reward if and only if you complete a certain task? Maybe you can get a new goody from TLP for every 10 boxes you do. In the past that has worked for me! Good luck and I hope the packing fairies visit you tonight then when you wake up everything will be packed and magically moved.

haha - i'll help robin out! :)

actually - i need to start packing and stuff too - i have two and a half months, but i don't want to procrastinate and get stressed out at the end! (and i have a LOT of de-cluttering/downsizing i want to do - we have so much baby stuff that i saved and i'm pretty sure we're done :) )

id make it every 5 boxs lol
 
Set a timer for a certain amount of time, then do something other than pack for a while when it goes off. I find that having a set time limit makes it go faster and you try to get more done before the bell rings.
 
I would be no help. I hope I never have to move again. I have so much stuff it may be easier to just light a match and walk away.

Plus... what you're doing sounds like WAY more fun!

LOL This. We've been in this house since 1995 and DH is a "collector" in a really big way. I get chills thinking about what will happen if we ever have to move.
 
A reward, that's a good idea... wonder if my husband would let me earn more digi scrap money that way, lol!!
Except I tend to buy what I want anyway, I just feel guiltier about it as the month goes on.

I am a pack rat for sure. I don't consider myself a hoarder (my house doesn't look like THAT thankfully) but I also don't think of myself as a collector because I have a lot of misc. crap, ha ha... I am sure all of my junk could be organized junk and I hope it will be at least in our new house b/c we'll have all this space (we haven't found a house yet btw, lol)... and I keep thinking I'll organize it as I put it into boxes, yet my method of cleaning is throwing things in a box and putting it "out of view". You should see my 2nd bedroom... *covers face....
 
PS, I got ONE box done this weekend, and I don't mean done like tape it up done... Like I put all the dog stuff out of one cabinet in a box and it doesn't quite fit. (*sigh)
