I've moved twice in the last six months and three times in the last three years. Two of those were cross-country moves. Now, I like to think I'm a relatively smart and highly-organized person. Yet, I can promise you that no matter how perfectly I planned for those three moves, how meticulously I labeled boxes, or how thoughtfully I grouped similar possessions together, it still took me forever to sort through the chaos at the other end.
If you've ever moved, you understand. Stuff gets temporarily or permanently lost. You question your own decision-making skills when you uncover that strange hybrid box containing kitchenware, bath towels, and gym equipment (guilty!). You grumpily mutter to yourself when you have to lug all those boxes labeled "basement" back up to the third floor. And don't even get me started on what happens when you attempt to unpack a box that another family member originally packed. It's like untangling the various subplots on Game of Thrones without ever having read the books.
