Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Make the complex logistics of combining two homes feel manageable by breaking every decision into clear steps with deadlines, budgets, and assigned tasks.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Set your move-in deadline
Anchor the whole plan to a real deadline so every other decision has a timeline.
03
Lock in your combined move budget
Get honest about the money available so we can build a plan that doesn't break either person.
04
Account for uneven move-out timing
Identify the staggered parts of your move so we can build in cushions instead of crises.
05
Decide what comes and what stays behind
Tackle the furniture and household items that take up space and carry emotion before moving day forces the choice.
06
Agree on who pays for what
Prevent money fights by agreeing on the split method before the bills start coming.
07
Schedule every utility and service switch
Keep lights on, internet running, and budgets clean by timing every utility move precisely.
08
Split the packing, moving, and setup work
Make sure neither person is carrying the whole mental load by splitting tasks clearly and fairly.
09
Handle special circumstances and restrictions
Catch the details that derail moves: pet transfers, truck parking, elevator reservations, and coverage gaps.
10
Set house rules and communication norms early
Set expectations for living together so the first month feels like teamwork, not trial by fire.
11
Build your master move timeline
Turn all your decisions into a single visual plan you can both follow and adjust as needed.
12
Close every gap before go time
Close the gaps before they become last-minute emergencies by naming who owns each open question.

Tell us what the prompt needs to know
Start with the questions below. Each answer personalizes the playbook and builds the prompt you’ll use at the end.
Your situation
Describe both current housing situations: addresses, lease end dates or mortgage status, notice requirements, deposits, and any restrictions like pets or parking.
0/10000
Enter the latest date by which you both need to be living together in the new place.
Enter the total amount you can both put toward move-related costs right now.
Select the situation that best describes your starting points.
Describe any mismatch in timing: one lease ending earlier, one person staying behind for work or school, a sale needing to close, or repairs being done.
0/10000
List the biggest furniture and household items from both places: couch, bed, dining set, washer/dryer, etc. Note condition and emotional attachment if it matters.
0/10000
Describe how you want to handle money for this move: split 50/50, proportional to income, each covers their own exit costs, or another system.
0/10000
List the utilities, services, and subscriptions tied to each current address that need transferring, canceling, or combining.
0/10000
Describe any building rules, HOA requirements, move-in/move-out restrictions, elevator reservations, or parking limits that affect your plan.
