Preparing for a move can be daunting, but with the right plan and timing, it can become a smooth process. Here’s a pre-move checklist from Next Generation Movers to help you stay organized and make your moving day stress-free.

Two Months Out: Start Decluttering

At the two-month mark, it’s time to begin organizing and clearing out items you no longer need. Go room by room and decide what to keep, donate, sell, or discard. Decluttering now will make packing easier and reduce the amount of stuff you’ll have to move.

One Month Out: Start Packing Non-Essentials

One Month Out: Start Packing Non-Essentials

With one month to go, begin packing non-essential and seasonal items. This includes off-season clothes, decor, and items you don’t use daily. Packing these items in advance can make the last stages of moving far less stressful. Pro Tip: Label each box with its contents and the room it belongs in to make unpacking simpler.

Two Weeks Out: Notify Services and Update Your Address

Two weeks before the move, it’s time to notify all necessary services and utilities of your upcoming change of address. This includes gas, water, electricity, internet providers, and your postal service. Additionally, update your address with banks, subscriptions, and any other important institutions.
