Moving Planner & New Home Kit (Digital Download)
Moving doesn't have to mean a 60-page binder you never open.
This kit gives you one smart spreadsheet that tracks your whole move, plus printable checklists and box labels you can actually use. Type in your move date and everything else falls into place.
Light or dark, your choice
You get two versions of the same spreadsheet: Daylight (bright and clean) and Midnight (dark mode, easier on the eyes at night). Same tabs, same formulas, same dashboard. Use whichever you like.

FAQ
Do I need Excel?
No. A free Google account and Google Sheets work great.
Can I edit it?
Yes. Light-blue cells are for typing. In Excel, formula cells are protected with no password, so you can unlock them. In Google Sheets, formulas aren't locked; undo any slip with File > Version history.
Can I use it on my phone?
Yes. Open it in the Google Sheets app to check off tasks and update boxes on moving day.
Is it dated?
No. Due dates come from whatever move date you enter, and the printables are undated.
