YOUR FIRST WEEK, SIMPLIFIED

A gentle first-week rhythm

You don't have to do everything at once. Here's the unhurried order I share with my clients.

DAY 1

Land softly

First-night box, make the bed, takeout from a new local spot.

DAYS 2–3

Turn things on

Utilities, internet, mail. Find the breaker and water shutoff.

DAYS 4–5

Make it official

License, registration, and your address everywhere.

WEEKEND

Explore

Tour the neighborhood, find your coffee, meet a neighbor.
