Example
Example: the week-by-week list with four tasks of your own
Moving house, in colour, US Letter. Typed under Your own items, one per line: “Moving day: keys to the landlord”, “4 weeks before: book a cleaner for the old flat”, “School: transfer records to the new school” and “Cancel the gym membership”.
- The built-in list has 41 tasks in six cards: 8 weeks before (7), 4 weeks before (8), 2 weeks before (7), 1 week before (6), Moving day (6) and After the move (7).
- A line starting with a card’s name goes into that card, its first letter made a capital: “keys to the landlord” joins Moving day as “Keys to the landlord”.
- A name no card has starts a card of its own, here School; a line without a name goes into My items.
| You type | It appears in |
|---|---|
| Moving day: keys to the landlord | Moving day |
| 4 weeks before: book a cleaner for the old flat | 4 weeks before |
| School: transfer records to the new school | a new card, School |
| Cancel the gym membership | My items |
moving-checklist.pdf, one page: the six cards with a box to tick before each task, your four lines where they belong, and lines at the top for the moving day and the new address.
How it works
- Print the timeline — from eight weeks before to after the move.
- Add your own tasks; “Moving day: keys to the landlord” puts it in that week.
- Tick off each task as you go.
Frequently asked questions
- What should I do first?
- Give notice on your old home, book the movers or a van, and start clearing out — about eight weeks ahead.
- What do people forget?
- Changing the address with the post office, banks and insurers, transferring internet and utilities, and taking meter readings on the day.
- How do I label boxes?
- Write the room and the contents on each box — the label sheets print room labels in colour.
- What goes in the first-night box?
- Toiletries, a change of clothes, chargers, medication, a kettle, cups and bedding — open it first.
- Can I add a task to a particular week?
- Yes: start the line with the card’s name and a colon, and “2 weeks before: book a babysitter” goes into that week. A name the list does not have, such as “Pets:”, starts a new card, and lines without a name go into My items.
- Does it fit on one page?
- Yes: the whole timeline, 41 tasks in six cards split over two columns, prints on one A4 or US Letter page, with your own lines added.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The list is made in your browser.
