The new home essentials checklist, ordered by the day you need it
Moving is a sequence problem. The boxes, the tools, the shower curtain and the bin all matter on different days. Plan it as a board ordered by the day you will need each thing rather than by the shop it comes from.
The short version
Moving lists fail because they are sorted by category instead of by day. You need a kettle, a toolkit and a shower curtain within hours, and a coffee table within months. Order the list by when it is needed, keep the box it is packed in on the item, and buy the day-one things before the van arrives.

Who it's for
Anyone moving house, especially the first few days when nothing is where you left it.
What people use today
Printable moving checklists, which are the same forty items whoever prints them, and none of them know your flat, your dates or what you already own.
What a board tracks here
Fields you name yourself, on the item they belong to. These are the ones that decide a purchase and have nowhere else to live.
- Needed by
- Day one, week one, later. Everything else about a moving list follows from this.
- Which box
- The field that turns thirty identical boxes into something you can search.
- Already own
- Moving is when you buy a second one of something you packed.
- Landlord or us
- Who supplies the white goods is agreed once and forgotten by both sides.
