Moving basics

Simple prompts for planning a move without turning it into a bigger project than needed.

Confirm the move-in date, key pickup, elevator or parking rules, building access, and any required reservations.
Make a short list of utilities and services to start, stop, or transfer before the move.
Pack essentials separately: documents, chargers, medication, toiletries, basic tools, cleaning supplies, and a change of clothes.
Label boxes by room and priority so the first day is manageable even if unpacking takes longer than expected.
Document the condition of the old and new place with dated photos where appropriate.
Update addresses for important accounts, deliveries, insurance, banking, and official mail.
