The old lady next door gave me the best moving tip I ever got

When I moved into my first apartment in Cleveland last summer, my 80 year old neighbor came over with a plate of cookies and told me to always unpack my bed first and my toiletries second. She said everything else can wait but you need sleep and a shower. Two days into boxes everywhere and I swear that advice saved my sanity.

Wait, cookies AND life advice? That's a twofer I never got.

The real hidden gem here is unpacking your kitchen tools third. If you can make coffee and scramble eggs the morning after moving, suddenly everything else feels manageable. What small trick did someone pass along to you that ended up mattering more than you expected?

Ha! Probably "unpack the coffee maker before the dishes." Priorities, man.
