Home/The Calm Move Checklist

Free printable

The Calm Move Checklist: a free moving checklist from eight weeks out to your first week home.

Four printable pages that break the whole move into calm, doable steps, so nothing important slips through the cracks. Free, US Letter, made to print at home.

The checklist

What’s on the four pages.

  • Page 1 · How to use it: print it and pin it up, check off one stage at a time, keep the open-first box list handy.
  • Page 2 · Eight weeks to two weeks out: plan (8 weeks), prepare (6 weeks), notify (4 weeks) and confirm (2 weeks), plus space for notes and numbers.
  • Page 3 · Moving week to your first week home: pack the last of it, moving day, settling in safely, the open-first box list, and who to tell about your new address.
  • Page 4 · What comes next: your first small job (find the water shutoff), a taste of each season, and a look at the Home Binder.

Who it’s for

Any move, any size.

  • First move or fifth, across town or across the country.
  • Buyers and renters alike.
  • Anyone who’d rather tick a box than keep it all in their head.

What happens after you sign up

Three small steps.

  1. Check your inbox. The checklist is in the first email, usually within a few minutes.
  2. Print it. Stick it on the fridge, and tick as you go.
  3. One short email a week. This week’s small job, plus the occasional new printable. Unsubscribe any time.

After the move

When the boxes are in, the Home Binder takes over.

The Calm Move Checklist gets you moved. The Home Binder gets you settled: your first 30 days, the shutoffs and panel map, a record of every room, and a seasonal plan for the year ahead.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. No card, no trial.
