A Final Checklist Before Moving

Just before you move, you should go through the following checklist and ensure you've taken care of everything on it.

Have you arranged new utilities for your new house?

Have you taken final meter readings and phoned them in – or will phone them in on the first day the utilities are open?

Have you informed your bank, mobile phone and any other companies who regularly bill you at your old address of your new address?

Do you regularly contract a gardener, milk delivery, maid service or other third party service that you need to cancel?

Have you arranged a mail redirect?

Have you turned off the gas, water and electricity, if asked?

Have you stopped all utilities, and informed any tax or local authorities of your move so that they can adjust your final bill and have it forwarded to your house?

Is everything packed, removed, binned or accounted for?

If you are leaving furniture, have you checked that there's nothing in, underneath, behind or on top of it?

Have you fulfilled any items that will ensure the return of your deposit (if you had one?)

Is everything packed and clearly marked?

Have you paid, or do you have the means to pay for your new house, if required?

Have you clearly explained, or marked out any repairs required within your old house?

Have you left any manuals that you don't need, for appliances or items you're leaving behind?

Have you transferred things like your driver's license, visa, passport or work permit to your new address?

Once you've ensured you've taken care of everything, you can move on to your new house knowing that you're able to continue your life without fear of disruption, identity theft or needing to contact the new occupants of the house with your problems. You'll also be able to relax and enjoy the move itself.

The Benefits of Creating a Camping Checklist for Yourself

Have you recently made reservations at a campground park to go camping?

Whether you are camping with friends, family members, or your romantic partner, preparation is important. Have you already started preparing for your trip, in terms of packing the supplies that you will need or the food that you would like to bring along with you? If you have yet to do so, you may want to take the time to create a camping checklist for yourself, as there are a number of benefits to doing so.

Before examining the many benefits of creating a camping checklist for yourself, you may want to take the time to familiarize yourself with what a camping checklist can include. In all honesty, a camping checklist can include just about anything that you want. Most people use camping checklists to ensure that they bring enough food and clothes with them, as well as the right camping equipment. You can also use your camping checklist to make a list of each of the activities that you would like to participate in while on your camping trip. As previously stated, the options are unlimited when creating a camping checklist for yourself.

As for the benefits of creating a camping checklist for yourself, the biggest benefit of doing so is that a camping checklist helps to ensure that you do not leave anything behind. You should know that this happens quite often, in fact, you may have forgotten to bring something important along with you on one of your previous trips. A camping checklist, especially one that is made in advance, can help to make sure that you bring enough food, drinks, snacks, clothing, and other important camping equipment, like your tents or sleeping bags.

Another one of the many benefits to creating a camping checklist for yourself is that it is easy to do. In fact, when it comes to creating a camping checklist, you will find that you have a number of different options. One of those options involves making your own camping checklist from scratch. You can sit down and make a list of everything that you would like to bring, as well as everything that you need to bring on your next camping trip. Once your checklist has been compiled, you will want to try and keep that camping checklist in a handy location, like on your refrigerator. This is ideal as you can easily add any other additional items that you can think of to your camping list later on.

In addition to making your own camping checklist from scratch, you can also find camping checklists online. These online camping checklists should be free and easy to print. What you will want to do though is be sure to add your own information or anything else that you can think of. Most of the online camping checklists that you will find are generalized ones; therefore, you should add your own personal touch. To find online camping checklist templates, to use or even to just get suggestions, you will want to perform a standard internet search.

If you are interested in making a camping checklist for yourself or even just adding on to an online checklist that you printed off, you may want to sit back and envision your next camping trip. What do you see yourself doing, eating, or wearing? This may help to ensure that your checklist is complete and filled with everything that you need and want. Also, since you will likely not be camping alone, you may want to have your family or your romantic partner add their own wants and needs to your camping checklist as well. This will help to ensure that everyone has a pleasant camping trip.

As outlined above, there are a number of benefits to creating a camping checklist for your next camping trip. With a camping checklist being relatively easy to create, why not at least give it a try?
