If you don't already have one, you should find a relo checklist. Try Googling on 'international relocation checklist'. In my experience when you instruct an international relo company, they'll usually give you a copy of such a thing, but you might not have reached that stage yet.
Examples:

There are *many* other examples from the Google search. I'd usually read several and make a hybrid for my own precise circumstances.
This gives you some basic framework, to add to, on which to plan your schedule. So much easier than facing a random-blur!

-- I do something similar with packing for a holiday. I have my own customised 'Packing list' in an Excel spreadsheet. - But wait - , it gets more nerdy
I have versions for SCUBA trip, beach holiday, and long weekend. It started from the SCUBA one, where the packing was maybe 100+ items, almost all vital, and the overall luggage was subject to strict/$ weight restrictions. The other hybrids followed.
It really makes packing for a trip SO much easier, as you just tick, tick tick through the entire list.
From underwear, to your (re-inspected) dive-mask etc, to checking/noting local FX exchange rates, to a final check on boiler/hw, windows and doors secured etc*100. It's funny, as once you have done it, it's hard to imagine being without it...
