About one-third (34%) of respondents consider themselves to be "prepared labelers," meaning they organize and plan packing well in advance. But about one-quarter (24%) identify as a "panic packer" — someone who waits until the last minute to prepare for their move, and who lacks organization overall. How do you think you are as a packer?
