Overview

A move goes smoother when it's broken into weeks. This 40-page planner starts eight weeks out and walks you through to your first week in the new place, with a checklist for each stage. Around those checklists are pages for the movers, the boxes, the money, the home you're leaving and the one you're moving into.

It also covers the trip itself, school and doctor changes, settling into a new community and moving with pets. Type into it or print it, and keep it in one binder.

  • Week-by-week countdown

    Checklists for 8, 4, 2 and 1 week out, moving day and the first week.

  • Every box logged

    A box log, high-value inventory and pages for damage and claims.

  • Budget in view

    A moving budget and expense log keep the costs in one place.

  • Settle in faster

Questions

When should I start planning a move?

Around eight weeks before moving day is a comfortable start, and that's where the planner's first checklist begins. If your move is sooner, start at the checklist that matches the time you have.

Can I type into it?

Yes. The fillable PDF has over 1,700 fields you can type into on a computer, tablet or phone and save. A printable PDF is included too.

Is it only for long-distance moves?

No. Use the pages you need. Local movers can skip the road trip and lodging pages, and first-apartment movers can skip schools.

What size is it?

US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), to print at home and keep in a standard binder.

How it's made: designed by Sorted Templates. We use AI tools to help draft text and lay out pages, and every page is reviewed and edited by us before it's listed. Lifestyle and mockup images may be AI-generated or AI-edited; the page previews show the actual files.
