✅ 2 Weeks Before Moving

📦 Packing & Decluttering

• Finish decluttering and donate/sell/give away unwanted items

• Label all boxes clearly: Room + Contents

• Set aside a "Do Not Pack" zone for essentials

📬 Change of Address

• Update your address for:

  • Banks/credit cards

  • Subscriptions (Amazon, streaming, meal kits, etc.)

  • Insurance (car, health, renters/homeowners)

  • Work/HR

📞 Utilities & Services

• Schedule disconnect/reconnect or transfer for:

  • Electricity

  • Water

  • Gas

  • Internet

  • Trash/recycling

• Arrange services at your new place to start 1–2 days before move-in

📋 Other Tasks

• Confirm movers or rental truck

• Arrange help (friends, babysitter, pet sitter if needed)

• Pack important documents, meds, chargers, keys in a separate bag

✅ 1 Week Before Moving

🎒 Essentials & Final Prep

• Pack your Essentials Bag:

  • Toiletries

  • 2–3 days of clothes

  • Medications

  • Important documents

  • Chargers + power strip

  • Snacks + water bottle

• Defrost freezer and clean fridge (at least 24–48 hrs before moving)

• Dispose of hazardous items (cleaning supplies, paint, etc.)

• Confirm parking/reservation for moving truck/movers

• Prepare payment or tips for movers

• Do a final donation or trash run

🏷️ Last-Minute Packing

• Pack remaining items room-by-room

• Keep valuables & essentials separate from the moving truck

✅ Moving Day Reminders

• Walk through every room before leaving — closets, drawers, garage

• Take photos of the empty home (if renting or selling)

• Lock all windows/doors and turn off lights, water, gas if needed

• Hand over keys/garage openers

• Celebrate – you did it 🎉

🧠 Pro Tip:

Use sticky notes or color-coded labels on boxes to make unpacking at your new place a breeze. Also, keep your “Essentials Bag” in the car with you, not on the moving truck!
