Prysm Note for moving house
Moving is a project with a hard date and a long tail of administrative errands. The failure mode is not forgetting the big things, it is discovering on the last day that one utility was never cancelled.
What matters here
- A project with a moving date
- Tasks grouped by week before the move
- A checklist per room for packing
- Address change tasks with reminders
- A note for the new property details
Working backwards
Start from the move date and place tasks on the timeline: notice on the flat, book the van, cancel the internet, redirect mail. Working backwards is the only way to see that some of these need a month of lead time.
Packing without chaos
One checklist per room, each item small enough to finish. A room checklist that says kitchen is a task you will avoid; one that says pack the pans, then the plates, is a task you can start.
The last week
Keep the final two days almost empty except for essentials. Something always runs late, and a plan with no slack turns a small delay into a missed appointment.
