Is there a best order to do gradual renovations in? (self.diy)

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?

Ooh that's a good point on damaging the floors. We're wanting to do LVP flooring, but we'll probably wait until everything else is done first. Probably will do floors then base boards, I like the idea of getting it as close as possible
