8-Week Moving Timeline: Moving Checklist

by | Mar 16, 2022 | Features

When moving to a new home, it is essential to utilize strategic planning in order to be efficient. Keep a timeline checklist to aid in guiding you and organizing time effectively. Eight weeks prior to the planned move, start searching for new housing, decide if you are self-moving or hiring professional movers, and create a moving budget. Six weeks before moving, dispose of anything you don’t want to take with you, get packing supplies ready, and start packing up your home. Two weeks before the move, contact your utility companies and service providers to schedule disconnection from the old home and reconnection to the new home. One week before moving, check your packing progress and start using your food supplies up. Now you should be reading for moving day, so get ready to wake up early and take a final walk through your home to make sure everything looks good.

Key Takeaways:

  • Moving to your first home relies on impeccable planning and organization.
  • The sheer number of tasks involved in moving to a new home can be overwhelming.
  • Six weeks prior to moving out, begin to decide what you are taking and what you are giving to friends or donating.

“A moving timeline is practically a moving list of things to do that gives you a time reference for more clarity and increased efficiency.”
