This week's focus

Do these three things this week

Reserve movers, set your budget, and check building rules.

Set your budget

Include transport, supplies, deposits, and a buffer.

This decision controls every other choice on the page.

Confirm your move method

Movers, truck, or container should be decided now.

The move method changes the rest of the calendar.

Reserve movers

Lock availability before the best dates disappear.

If you are using a truck or container, reserve that instead.

Check building and access rules

Elevators, parking, COIs, or loading windows can block the move.

Apartment and condo moves usually need this first.

Declutter low-use spaces

Storage, decor, and bulky items are the easiest first wins.

Every box you remove makes the rest cheaper and easier.

Map the next month

Know what belongs at 6 weeks, 4 weeks, and move week.

This keeps the timeline from feeling like a guess.

Do this now

Reserve the things that disappear first

Reserve movers. Best dates begin disappearing about two months before moving. Book within the next 2 weeks.
Check elevator reservation rules. Apartment buildings usually need 3-4 weeks of lead time. Reserve now.
Set your budget. The rest of the plan depends on it. Do this now.
