A moving checklist provides a customizable method to successfully plan one’s move. The list can be broken down into different time periods. Eight weeks before the move one should focus on researching moving components and the new neighborhood. Seven weeks before the move one should get estimates from movers and secure equipment and storage. Six weeks out one should start scheduling and setting up life in new neighborhood. Five weeks out one should start packing. Four weeks out one should start closing out life in old neighborhood. Three weeks out one should handle transfer of utilities, mail, and other services. Two weeks out one should take care of sensitive items like financial and medical records. One week out one should take care of last minute errands and clean old home. One should also plan for the days and months after the move to get settled in and explore.
Key Takeaways:
- Eight weeks ahead of time, you should research moving companies and prepare a relocation budget.
- Five weeks before the move, reduce your number of belonging through sales and donations.
- After the move, change your address with the IRS, update your driver’s license, and register to vote.
