Moving Checklist: What to Do a Month, a Week and a Day Before
5 min read
Moving is one of life's most stressful events. The secret is to split the work into small steps and start early.
One month before
- Sort your things: keep, donate, toss
- Book movers and packing help
- Collect boxes, wrapping paper and tape
- Update your address with the bank, post office and providers
One week before
- Pack everything you don't use daily
- Label every box by room and contents
- Schedule cleaning for the new place before move-in
- Prepare a 'first day' bag with documents, chargers and medication
The day before and moving day
- Defrost and clean the fridge
- Photograph the old apartment and the utility meters
- Make sure fragile boxes are clearly marked
- Book a move-out clean to get your deposit back
