1. Understand what needs to be done – Do you know what you’ll need to do to sell your home at the price you want and in the speed you need? Do you have a clear idea of how long it will take to complete various tasks, like getting repairs done and doing some “staging”? The more accurately you can anticipate your tasks and how long it will take to complete them, the better you’ll be able to plan and schedule.
2. Keep a “moving” calendar – It is a known time management fact that using a calendar and  blocking out time for tasks will ultimately save you time. So, use your calendar, to set your ultimate moving date and work backgrounds of what needs to get done each week. With an up-to-date calendar in place, you’ll always have a view of what needs to be done and how those tasks fit into your weekly schedule. This organization will also help reduce your stress throughout the process.
