Sample output
Move: Brooklyn → Austin · 3 weeks out · hired movers + driving car down · couple, 1 dog · current lease ends day 30 · budget $4K
Week 1 (T-30 to T-22) Logistics: get 3 mover quotes (long-distance varies $1.5K-$4K). Reserve preferred move date. Book hotel for 1 night midway (your dog can't do 26h in one go). Packing: declutter — donate run on day 23-25 (Goodwill drop, FB Marketplace for furniture). Photograph and list 5 'maybe' items on Marketplace. Paperwork: notify landlord in writing (60-day notice if your lease requires; check yours). Pull your move-in inspection photos. People: tell employer + book any remote-work days you need for the move.
Week 2 (T-21 to T-15) Logistics: confirm mover. Order packing supplies: 30 small + 20 medium + 5 large boxes, tape, markers, paper. Packing: pack books, holiday decor, off-season clothes (anything you won't touch in 21 days). Paperwork: USPS change-of-address (file ~10 days before move). Notify bank, credit cards, insurance, voter registration. Update DMV after move (TX requires 30 days). People: find new vet in Austin, transfer dog records. School records if applicable.
Week 3 (T-14 to T-8) Logistics: schedule internet install for day 1 in new place (Spectrum + Google Fiber both serve Austin). Cancel current internet for day after move. Packing: kitchen non-essentials, bathroom non-essentials. Label boxes by ROOM, not contents. Paperwork: refill prescriptions 90 days out at CVS (transfers to any branch nationwide). Update dog license. Forward voter reg. People: host a 'help us empty the fridge' dinner — saves food + says goodbye.
