There's always the ominous giant couch or something else that you know is extremely heavy that you do not want to lift, even with the help of two or three other people.
And in the back of your mind you have the horror stories of 14 hour days of moving things back and forth because you didn't get enough people to come and help you. Or, in what my opinion is the worse scenario is when you go to help someone move and they have only packed half of their stuff, so a good portion of the time you're packing instead of moving.
Packing and moving at the same time is a nightmare.
I am of the opinion that almost everything should be packed beforehand and there should be just a handful of things that can be packed in the last hour before people start arriving to help. Since my lease is up for this year and I am getting new roommates, I have a new season of my life starting and moving is just one of those steps to help me get on track.
For everyone else who is moving sometime in the near future in Arizona, stay hydrated, make sure to plan your packing ahead of time, and invite people to help earlier rather than later.
