Moving is commonly known as one of the most stressful times in your life. To help take a little bit of that stress away, we’ve created a moving checklist that includes what to do, pack, and buy before your move.

Below, we walk through key things to consider in the three areas of the list.

Down the page, you can also access an easily customizable Google Sheets checklist to guide your move.

Your moving to-do list will differ depending on the size and specifics of your move.

Some questions that will affect your move include: Are you moving to a new state? Are you renting or buying? What will the weather be like in your new location?

While these will all be things to consider as you create your moving list, here are a few general to-dos for your move:


Make sure your air conditioning or heat is turned on a few days before you move (depending on the season/weather you’re in)

Make travel arrangements (Will you hire a moving company? What large items are you taking and what are you leaving behind?)

Change your mailing address (make sure important documents have the correct address, too!)

Change your driver’s license & license plates (if moving to a new state)

Creating a packing list is probably one of the hardest parts of a move. You’ll need to decide what you want to take, what you want to sell/leave behind, and how you’ll actually transport your items.

Here are our best tips on HOW to create a packing list:

Prioritize items that are essential, or significant

For an in-depth checklist of packing items room by room, 


Are you downsizing? Upsizing? Are you moving across the country or are you moving down the street? These factors can help you figure out what to buy or sell before your move.

Here are some tips to help you know what to buy and when:

List the most important items you’ll need to survive & thrive in your new space

List which items can wait to be purchased after your initial move

Know the size of the space you’re moving into

Consider whether it will be easier to move large items, or purchase new ones once you’ve moved

MakeMyMove was pleased to partner with the Purdue Research Foundation (PRF) in May 2021 to create and launch a first-of-its-kind remote worker community at Purdue University. Understanding the meaningful value remote workers could represent in the form of economic output, academic and community contribution, the goal for the initial trial was modest - recruit 10 remote workers to relocate to and work from the campus’ Discovery Park District.

The MakeMyMove team supported PRF and the remote workers from start to finish. Services include:

Candidate Recruitment and Support Services throughout Relocation

Eligible candidates must have full-time remote employment status and relocate to West Lafayette from outside of the state of Indiana.

The group represents nearly $2 Million in annual income,

The cohort boasts a higher representation of people of color compared to the West Lafayette community at large,

Fourteen are brand new to the region, with no previous connection to Purdue or the surrounding area,

Candidates work in technology, data, finance and sales;

One candidate writes children’s books with a STEM focus.

Having exceeded our initial goals in both quantity and quality of remote workers relocating to Purdue, the initiative has just received significant backing, allowing MakeMyMove to really accelerate the work. We look forward to our continued partnership with Purdue University and the Purdue Research Foundation.

MakeMyMove partnered with the Purdue Research Foundation to design and launch a remote worker community at Purdue University. These are the results of the pilot campaign that has since received significant backing to accelerate the program.
