Maya Kim
Maya Kim writes and refines moving checklists, timelines, and planning tools for The Moving Playbook. With over 200 assisted residential relocations as a professional organizer, she approaches every checklist as a practical operations document — not a generic to-do list. Her goal is to help readers avoid the specific mistakes that create last-minute chaos on moving day.
“A moving checklist that lists “pack your things” is not useful. The value is in the sequence, the timing, and knowing which tasks have dependencies that bite you if you get them out of order.”

Background & Expertise
Maya worked as a residential professional organizer for six years before transitioning to editorial. In that time she assisted with over 200 moves — packing, labeling, staging, and managing the logistics of getting households from one location to another without the wheels coming off. That hands-on background means her checklists are built from real failure patterns, not theoretical task lists.
Every checklist she publishes is tested against a specific question: “If a reader follows this exactly, what is the first thing that goes wrong?” If she can identify a gap, the checklist is not ready to publish.
