5 weeks Before you start throwing everything in boxes, map out a room-by-room plan. Oh, and give loved ones a head's up that you'll have a new address next month. • Use up food from the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry. Refrain from buying too many groceries, especially bulk orders, from here on out. • Get the word out to friends and family members that you're moving. Send them your new address or send a moving announcement through email. • Purchase moving supplies including boxes, packing material, tape, labels, and box cutters. Remember to order specialty items like dish boxes, wardrobe boxes, and mattress bags if your mover is not supplying them. • Get a box-labeling system in place. Numbered boxes, color-coding by room, and a master list with inventory are key elements. • Make a room-by-room packing schedule and start packing! 4 weeks It's official: You're moving this month. Ditch the packing tape and boxes this week, and spend your time getting all of your official documents in order. • Fill out an official change-of-address form. • Consult your list of businesses and services and make address changes on all relevant accounts. • Put in for vacation time at your job for the days surrounding your move and schedule a babysitter if necessary. • Confirm major details, especially insurance coverage, with your mover. 3 weeks Now that the basics are out of the way (the bank and post office, especially), sort out your annual subscriptions, valuables, and sentimental items.
• Cancel all newspaper home delivery and set up delivery in your new neighborhood. • Gather valuable paperwork, jewelry, and small family heirlooms. Keep these special items separate from your moving boxes and make a plan for transporting them by hand or via a trackable shipping service with insurance. • Take photos of any high-ticket items. Note any existing scratches, dings, or damage to your furniture. 2 weeks Pretend you're going on an extended vacation: Pack your belongings, ditch any perishables, go the bank, and double-check prescriptions. • Pack little by little so that you don't save it all for the last week. • Tie up loose ends: Confirm that you've changed addresses, have all the proper moving insurance in place, and are ready to make your move.
