How to Organize a Moving Day Timeline in 2024

Confirm All Details: Double-check your moving date, time, and any special instructions with your moving company. If you’re using CT Moving & Storage, reach out to confirm your movers’ arrival time and any last-minute questions.

Create a Moving Binder: Keep track of essential documents, moving checklists, and receipts for expenses. This binder will be your go-to source for any information you need during the move.

Pack a “First Night” Box: Fill a box with essentials like toiletries, a change of clothes, basic kitchen items, and important documents. This ensures you have what you need immediately upon arrival at your new home.

Wake Up Early: Give yourself extra time to double-check that everything is ready. Set multiple alarms if necessary and ensure all last-minute items are packed.

Prepare Snacks and Hydration: Keep water bottles and non-perishable snacks handy. Moving can be physically demanding, and staying hydrated is essential for everyone involved.

Secure Valuable Items: Set aside jewelry, important documents, and other valuables in a bag or container that stays with you throughout the move.

Walkthrough and Instructions: Walk the movers through your home, pointing out fragile or special items. With CT Moving & Storage, you can trust that our team is attentive, but clear communication helps streamline the process.

Double-Check for Forgotten Items: Inspect closets, cabinets, and any storage spaces to ensure nothing is left behind. It’s easy to overlook smaller spaces during the hustle.

Stay Available for Questions: Be reachable if the movers have any questions or need clarification. Even with a professional team like CT Moving & Storage, your input can make a difference for seamless handling.

Keep Kids and Pets Occupied: If applicable, make arrangements to keep children and pets engaged or supervised to prevent accidents and keep the process stress-free for everyone.

Direct Movers to Specific Rooms: Label boxes clearly, and guide the movers to where each box should go. This step saves you from moving boxes around later.

Inspect Items as They Arrive: Check off your inventory list and inspect items for damage. Although rare with a trusted team, it’s better to address any issues immediately.

Set Up Basic Furniture First: Prioritize essentials like your bed and kitchen table. Having a few familiar pieces set up will make your new space feel more like home.
