Checklist templates

Checklist templates break a job into steps you can tick off. You will find moving, packing, cleaning, wedding, new baby, home buying, event and grocery checklists, each grouped by stage or area.

Include a title and target date, tasks grouped by stage or area, a box to tick for each task, an owner for shared tasks, due dates for time-sensitive items, and a notes section. Put due dates on the tasks that depend on other people. A moving day on Saturday, December 5, 2026 means the utility calls need to happen weeks earlier.

Open a template and choose Make a copy. To add your own items, use the checklist option in the Format menu under Bullets and numbering. Each item then gets a box you can click.

Include change of address, utility transfers, packing by room, booking movers and cleaning the old home. Add a section for the first day in the new home, such as bedding and basic tools. Start about eight weeks ahead.

Start with Employee Onboarding Checklist: Plan the tasks for each new starter by phase, with owners, due dates and progress. If that is not the right fit, compare it with Home Maintenance Log.

The templates here are 1 to 4 pages long. Cut any section you do not need; each template explains what its sections are for.
