Why it works

  1. 1The first steps cover the move-in tasks: your address, renter's insurance, the nearest stores, the last boxes and voter registration.
  2. 2Two minutes of planning at 5 PM sets tomorrow's first task. On weekdays, that task gets 9 AM, before other work fills the day.
  3. 3Each room chore repeats a set number of days after you last did it. A busy week of unpacking moves the next date, so chores do not pile up.
