Plan your internet handover, a portable work kit and a fallback desk before moving day.
Book the workday as well as the truck
Start with the first meeting or deadline after the move. Work backwards from it and find out when you can enter the new flat, when the internet provider can activate the line and where you could work if that appointment slips. Give the movers a window in which they can pack and carry the desk without interrupting a call. For a move from Tel Aviv to Herzliya, one workable plan is to use the old connection until loading starts and schedule the afternoon away from both flats. If two people work from home, agree who will take delivery and who needs a quiet room. Mark the desk and chair for early unloading if you want to set up a workspace before opening the rest of the boxes.
Keep a portable setup and test it before the first meeting
Pack the laptop, charger, headset, work phone and authentication device together and keep that bag with you. Keep a current backup through your usual approved system and check that you can sign in without the equipment in the truck. Label the monitor and its cables for the new desk. Confirm with the provider which network equipment stays with the old address and which travels with you. At the new address, try a real call, check the connection from the intended desk and open the documents you will need. If a mobile connection or coworking desk is the fallback, test it before relying on it. Let coworkers know when you can respond and who to contact during the loading window.
