Pre-Move Cleaning & Packing
The best place to start is with cleaning. As you are cleaning and organizing, you might find things you forgot about and things you realize need to get pitched. Keep this in mind as you are cleaning and start taking a mental inventory of your space.
Next, make you sure obtain proper supplies from your boss. At the very least, you will need boxes, labels, and tape. If you need more, or require assistance, don't be afraid to speak up!
