Move checklist plus#

I create a little packing kit with the moving binder, a Sharpie, a pen, and a roll of packing tape in a bag. If you’re not familiar with the disc binding system, you can watch this video where I demonstrate how it works. It’s also a lot easier to take pages in and out because there are no rings to mess with. This means that the punch does not eat very far into the side of the page, so it doesn’t leave holes in my labels like most traditional 3 ring binder punches would. I use a discbound system for my moving binder. That’s my favorite part about this system – all of my moving documents and my box labels are all in one convenient binder. Next I punch the side of the labels and put them into my binder. However, if I had super nice furniture, I definitely wouldn’t put a label on it! We used goo gone and were able to get them off fairly easily without damaging anything. However, if you stick them on furniture, they will be pretty hard to remove. One quick word of caution about using the labels! They work great on moving boxes because you won’t need to remove them. They are intended to be shipping labels but they work perfectly for this. Then I print a few of each of the label sheets onto Avery 8163 label sheets. Within just a couple minutes, I have a complete printable moving binder customized to me and my spaces. Just type once in the top label on the sheet, and it automatically fills out the whole thing for you. Here’s the really cool part: you DO NOT have to type into every label. These labels are also fillable, so you can customize them to suit your spaces.

Next, I filled out the moving label sheets to correspond to the spaces on the moving legend. If you don’t have that many spaces, just leave some blank. This printable is fillable, so you can type whatever you want into those spots. Here’s how I put mine together using my Ultimate Moving Printable Pack.įirst, I filled out the moving legend with all the areas in our new home. This binder was a lifeline for us in our last move! My first and most important piece of advice is to create a moving binder and do this well ahead of time. So here are the best moving tips from the I Heart Planners team: 1 – Create a Moving Binder

Second, no matter how complete and detailed you make your moving checklist, things will still get a little bit hectic, and that’s okay! It’s that way for everyone. First, the more organized you are about how you move and packing, the smoother everything will go. There are a couple key things I have learned over the years and over many moves (both across town and across country moves). One thing I have a lot of experience with is moving.
