Moving is overwhelming mostly because so much has to happen in the right order - book movers before they're booked up, transfer utilities before you're sitting in the dark, change your address before your mail vanishes. Miss the timing and small things become expensive headaches.
This checklist lays out a moving timeline week by week, counting back from your move date, so each task shows up when it needs doing instead of all at once. Start from it and adjust it to your own move.
About 8 weeks out: plan the move
About 4–5 weeks out: supplies and admin
About 2–3 weeks out: pack and coordinate
The final week and moving day
After the move
Make it repeatable
