Is there a best order to do gradual renovations in? (lemmy.today)

Over the next year or so, we're looking to replace our wood floors, all the base boards, all interior & exterior doors, and door trim. Since the wife and I both work full time, we're thinking we'd focus on one at a time, and do it slowly over a few weekends and evenings. Is there an order that would make things easier? Like do floors before baseboards or vice versa? Is it even worth doing things one at a time?

One thing to consider with doors is to install them AFTER the new flooring so you can adjust the height correctly - I learned this the hardwya when I had to shave down 6 doors because I didnt account for the extra 1/2 inch from the new floor.
