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?

Yeah, that makes sense. Then the trim can be as flush as possible. We're looking to do LVP floors since they're waterproof and scratch resistant, which is pretty important when we have a dog who gets soaked every time he goes outside
