If you asked someone who has moved house recently whether you really need a moving checklist, you would find that the answer is a resounding ‘yes’. All you have to do to find out the importance of the moving checklist is to try moving house without one!
The checklist is going to be your ‘go to’ point every time the process gets a little stressful. Sometimes you may be trying to do so many things at once that it is very easy for you to forget what the most important tasks are and what you should be doing next. The checklist will help to keep you on track, not only as a reference point for tasks that need to be completed but also as a timeline. Regardless of whether your house move is short or long distance, your moving checklist will be the most useful tool you can have.
Many of those who are moving house will also create a moving file and keep in it useful things such as quotes from moving companies, contact details for utility companies, and additional lists that are created as you go along. This could be simple things such as a list of friends and family to send a change of address to or a list of potential schools in the new area.
Moving house can be very chaotic but you can minimize the chaos by staying organized. The moving checklist is just one way to keep everything organized and on track.
