ADHD House-Move Checklist Pack (UK) - Printable PDF
Move house without losing your mind. Or the kettle.
Moving is a hundred small decisions wearing a trench coat, and an ADHD brain tends to try all hundred at once, at 2am, while surrounded by half-packed boxes. This pack breaks the whole thing into small, kind, tickable steps: one room at a time, every decision with a floor version (the lowest-effort one that still counts), rest days on purpose, and full permission not to unpack everything on day one.
Made for ADHD and low-executive-function brains, first-time renters, families, and anyone who has ever packed the kettle first. UK-specific: council tax, DVLA, electoral roll, TV Licence, Royal Mail redirection, deposit schemes, the lot. No shame, no colour-coded perfection required (although there is a colour-coded box system, because it genuinely helps).
Inside (18 undated A4 pages):
- How to use it, plus the house rules: one room at a time, decisions have a floor, ask for help early, rest days count
- Timeline from 8 weeks out to moving day to the first fortnight, with a floor version for every stage (behind? just start at this week's row)
- Room-by-room declutter planner, plus the 15-minute declutter
- Keep / sell / donate / bin decision sheet with ten-second questions and the "decide later" box rule
- UK admin and utilities changeover: council tax, electoral roll, DVLA, GP, bank, HMRC, TV Licence, broadband, energy, water, insurance, Royal Mail, plus meter readings for both homes
- Quotes and movers comparison (three options, not twelve), DIY van costs and questions to ask
- Packing zones and box labelling system: one colour per room, one number per box, plus a box log
- Packing checklist by room, from the kitchen to the loft you forgot about
- Essentials box and first-night kit, documents folder and a first-night dinner plan (takeaway counts)
- Moving day run sheet with who-does-what jobs and the numbers you'll need on the day
- New home first 48 hours: tonight, tomorrow, day two, and where the stopcock and fuse box actually are
- Change-of-address master tracker for everyone else (subscriptions, shops, vet, gym, friends)
- Budget and deposits tracker in £, with money coming back and old/new deposit details
- Ask-for-help scripts (including for phone calls you're dreading) and decision defaults
- Decision parking lot, overwhelm reset and brain dump
- First fortnight unpack plan: one room or job a day, with rest days and a boxes-left tracker
