Office Desk and Seating Plan
Know who sits where and which monitor, dock and phone belong to which desk, so a vacant desk with kit on it is on record rather than quietly stripped.

An office move planning sheet — a before-the-move checklist, then one row per person with old desk, new desk, crate label and whether their kit works.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Get everyone and their kit from the old desk to the right new one, with a record of whose crate is whose and who is actually up and running afterwards.
Office managers and IT teams running a floor reshuffle, an office move or a merger of two offices into one.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One row per person for an office move — where they sit now, where they are going, the crate label on their kit, and whether their phone and computer were working again at the new desk.
Ticked at the new desk, not the old one. Write the crate label on this sheet before it goes on the crate, so the label and the list can never disagree. Nothing counts as moved until the last two columns are ticked by the person sitting at the new desk, not by the mover.
Write-on lines: Moving from · Moving to · Move date · Move coordinator
Table, 9 rows: Name · Team · Old desk · New desk · Crate label · Kit moved · PC OK · Phone OK · Notes
Because the mover knows the crate arrived, not that the machine boots and the phone rings. A move is finished when the person can work, and the only way to know that is to have them say so at the new desk.
Know who sits where and which monitor, dock and phone belong to which desk, so a vacant desk with kit on it is on record rather than quietly stripped.
Know what is in every box and where it is meant to end up, so you can find the kettle on the first night and tell on the day whether anything is missing.
Record what the business owns rather than what is in the shed: a numbered list with cost and disposal, which is what an insurer or an accountant asks for.
Work through everybody who holds your address, and track the gap between telling them and them acting on it.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
