The 8-week moving checklist
Week-by-week tasks from booking help to labeling every bag.
Eight weeks out
- Set a move date and a budget.
- Sort by room. What stays, what goes, what gets donated.
- Order bags early so packing is not a tape run the night before.
Four weeks out
- Pack off-season clothes and rarely used linens.
- Write the room on each tag card as you close the bag.
- Measure doorways, the truck, and any storage unit.
Moving week
- Pack a first-night bag you can find without opening ten others: meds, chargers, sheets, towels.
- Keep books in boxes.
- Fold empty bags flat once a room is unpacked so they don't vanish into the recycling habit.
