Moving Strategies?

skotte asks: "I currently am in a position where I will be moving my whole set of belongings to a new apartment. But I refuse to just buy a bunch of boxes and start throwing things in. Surely there is a good strategy of how to tackle the act of packing. I'm thinking "Relatively" where everything related, such as CDs, go in one box, cables go in another. Or there's 'spatially', where I pack everything in one bookcase in one box. Or there's 'by Priority' in which important things i'll need right away go in one box...and on and on. There appear to indeed be LOTS of ways to go about it -- and there are big pros-and-cons to each. So what does the slashdot community think? Better yet, is there some management software to help with this sort of thing?"

    I was thinking that maybe this guy/girl is only 16 or 17 with good job skills but little life experience or a lack of parental advice. Some people get started early and don't get all the info they need before they are on their own.

    I don't think that asking a community of supposed peers an honest question is prerequisite to needing psychiatric services.
