A week-by-week countdown that keeps your move organized from the first box to the final walkthrough.
8 Weeks Out: Start Planning
Begin by creating a master moving binder or digital folder. Research moving companies, request at least three binding quotes, and start a home inventory. Notify your employer of your move date and begin researching schools, doctors, and services in your new area.
6 Weeks Out: Declutter and Sort
Go room by room and sort everything into keep, donate, sell, and discard piles. The less you move, the less you pay. Schedule a donation pickup or garage sale. Order moving supplies: boxes in multiple sizes, packing tape, bubble wrap, and markers.
4 Weeks Out: Pack Non-Essentials
Start packing items you won't need before the move — seasonal decor, books, extra linens, and off-season clothing. Label every box with its contents and destination room. Notify the post office, banks, subscriptions, and government agencies of your address change.
2 Weeks Out: Confirm Everything
Confirm your moving date and time with ITX Moving. Pack all but essential items. Arrange childcare and pet care for moving day. Defrost the freezer, drain hoses, and prepare appliances for transport. Back up important documents and keep them with you.
Moving Day: Execute the Plan
Do a final walkthrough of every room, closet, and cabinet before the truck leaves. Keep your essentials bag — medications, chargers, snacks, important documents — with you, not on the truck. Tip your crew if they did a great job, and do a final check of the new home before signing off.
