Phased plan
Every task in this manual, dated from your key date and sorted into phases. Seeded from your setup; everything you type stays in this browser.
Essential on a first pass. The tasks sheet is this manual's spine: every chapter adds to it, and the 30-day and 90-day reviews in Your household binder check against it. Without it, this manual is still readable, but nothing reminds you that the change of address needs two weeks or that the alarm test comes back every month. Your first-home plan explains the phases.
Your dated plan
The table below lists this manual's tasks for your setup, dated from your key date. It is generated fresh each time from setup; the sheet underneath is your own copy, which you edit.
Tasks
One row per task (Your first-home plan). Dates come from your key date when the sheet is seeded; change any date to the day you will actually do it. Check a task when it is done.
How to use this sheet
- One row per task. A task is one action with a date: "submit the change of address", not "sort out the mail". Split a large task until each row is something you can check off.
- Dates are yours. The seeded dates are this manual's offsets from the key date. Move a date to the day you will do the task; the sheet keeps what you type.
- Phase and chapter. The phase groups tasks for the reviews; the chapter column says where the task is explained.
- Who. In a shared home, write a name on every row. A task with no name tends to wait.
- Notes hold the timing's source. Each seeded row says whether its timing comes from an agency (USPS, FSIS, NFPA) or is this manual's convention.
The two example rows are Dani's (fictional): a renter living alone in a 420 sq ft studio, keys on November 1, 2026. Dani walked the studio before unpacking and sent the condition sheet with photos through the manager's portal on day 2. Both rows are checked done, with the evidence in the notes column. Load them with the example button to see the format; delete them before seeding your own.
The phases and most timings are this manual's convention; only the rows that name a source carry an agency's timing, and even those (USPS's 7 to 10 business days, for example) are the agency's estimate, not a promise. A household that moves on a day's notice does the same tasks in a different order. The plan is a list of tasks, not a schedule anyone else has agreed to keep.
