Plan this personal project: [PROJECT, SUCH AS MOVING HOME]. Target date: [DATE]. Tasks and known durations: [LIST]. People involved and their available time: [DETAILS]. Fixed commitments and constraints: [DETAILS]. 1. Break the project into verifiable outcomes with a person responsible for each. Leave missing owners unassigned. 2. Record direct dependencies for every task. Check for circular dependencies and tasks that need the same limited resource at the same time. 3. Use my time estimates to calculate the earliest possible schedule. Distinguish working days from calendar days and document assumed availability. Ask me to confirm estimates. 4. Show the critical path, useful buffers and two backup plans for the biggest bottlenecks. Provide a schedule and a list of decisions still needed. Check that every dependent task starts after its predecessor and that the target date is mathematically achievable. Clearly flag overloading.
