are you moving? there is no such thing as stress free.. I just moved with alot more time than that. first of all.. go get a set of clean sheets for each of your beds. when you break down those beds to move add the pillows and blankets.. get this box or bag in your car so they don't get lost in the many boxes.. my mom insisted on making my beds up when i moved and i was very thankful at the end of my move day!! since you are moving in just a few days.. start in one room and pack the whole thing.. if you have breakables that would break your heart if broken.. mark them well.. even consider putting them in your own car.. don't even move the boxes. leave them in the room you pack them..Have the movers move your kitchen in the truck last, so it is the first thing moved in to the new place. that way you can start to unpack the kitchen.. mark the box with the coffee machine, you don't want to be searching for that come Mon morning! If you have other valuables.. jewelry etc. do not mark the box specifiably (another i would consider putting in your own car) just mark breakable.. if you are having the moving company pack your stuff up.. i would still do the bedding and the breakables yourself..If the Moving Company is going to pack also, just pack your personal item that you will need almost immediately.

Are you flying or driving to your destination? If driving, take your coffee pot, toaster, etc. with you.

If you are packing yourself: Take one room at a time and label that room. Take a break and begin the next room. (Hope your house is not too big). Take it easy, break it down into sections, keep a positive attitude and it will not seem so overwhelming.
