When it comes in handy

A less stressful move

Spreading the jobs across the weeks means fewer last-minute panics, because the big things are booked and sorted early.

Sharing the load

Print a copy for everyone in the household and split the tasks, so nobody assumes someone else booked the movers.

Counting down the days

Pin it up next to a countdown to your moving date so you can see both what is left to do and how long is left to do it.

Frequently asked questions

When should I start using it?
About two months before you move, when the eight-weeks-out tasks begin, such as getting quotes from movers and sorting what to keep. Starting early is the single biggest thing that makes a move calmer, so the checklist front-loads the bookings and admin.
Can I add my own tasks?
Yes. Every group has blank rows with tick boxes so you can add jobs specific to your move, like arranging pet care, cancelling a gym membership or booking a parking permit for the van.
How do I keep track of the days left?
Set your moving date and count down to it. A days-until or countdown calculator tells you exactly how long is left, which helps you pace the checklist so each group is done on time.
Is it free and private?
Yes. The checklist downloads as a plain PDF with no charge, no watermark and no sign-up. It is generated in your browser, so nothing you do here is uploaded, and it works offline once the page has loaded.
