Why plan a move is harder than it sounds
Most people don't fail because they lack motivation - they fail because plan a move gets crowded out by everything else in their week.
The planning trap
You know you want to plan a move, but figuring out what to do each week takes energy you don't have. So "I'll start next week" becomes your mantra.
The time squeeze
Work expands to fill your calendar. By the time you think about plan a move, it's 9pm and your energy is gone. The goal keeps sliding.
The all-or-nothing mindset
"I need to set a whole day aside for this." You never find that day. Meanwhile, 30 minutes here and there would have added up to real progress.
Your plan a move plan, phase by phase
GoalSplitter's AI breaks plan a move into a structured plan. Here's a typical progression with weekly task suggestions you can customise.
Prepare (Weeks 1–4)
Give notice to landlord, start decluttering, get quotes from movers, plan logistics, update address
Pack (Weeks 5–8)
Pack room by room, label boxes, use GoalSplitter to organize packing schedule, organize moving day
Move & Setup (Weeks 9–12)
Final walkthrough and cleaning, move day coordination, unpack and organize new place, update utilities/address
