A realistic four-week timeline for a local move.
Four weeks out is comfortable for most homes. The work is front-loaded: the things you use rarely can be packed long before moving day.

- Four weeks out: storage, guest rooms, decor, off-season clothing
- Two weeks out: books, extra kitchenware, garage
- One week out: reserve your totes so they arrive with days to spare
- Two days out: everything but the essentials box
