Packing for your Philadelphia move? Discover the Rule of 3 from 215 City Movers — a stress-free, proven system to help you pack smart, fast, and efficiently.
Moving to a new home in Philly? Packing is often the part that causes the most stress. At 215 City Movers, we’ve helped hundreds of locals move smoothly — and we know exactly how overwhelming packing can feel. That’s why we created our simple, effective Rule of 3 for Packing Prioritization.
This method keeps your packing organized, saves you time, and helps ensure nothing important gets forgotten.
So, What Is the Rule of 3?
We break your belongings down into three easy categories, making it clear where to start and what to pack next:
✅ Essentials
These are the items you’ll need right away — think of them as your “first night” or “first day” box. It includes:
Toiletries
Chargers
Important documents
Medications
Basic kitchenware (coffee maker, anyone?)
✅ Frequently Used
Next, pack items you use regularly but can go a few days without. This could be:
Extra clothes
Towels
Electronics
Small appliances
✅ Non-Essentials
Finally, pack the things you won’t need until after you’ve fully settled. Examples:
Seasonal clothes
Decorations
Books
Spare linens
