You may need to apply a bit of "discomfort" to his prolonged moving plan. Play music he doesn't like, cook food he hates the smell of, invite your friends he doesn't like to help you make future plans while he packs... make your life an unpleasant place for him to linger.

That was a technique I used and it was extremely effective at shortening the length of departure.
He complains that his back is the problem - I don't see why it matters if he packs boxes vs carrying things piecemeal to his car. I don't know. I feel very reticent to just let him take the trips he needs before Nov 1. I did give him three weeks initially to move out.
