Narrative:
The passengers wanted to leave early. I had to contact operations to give them the arrival time and information on the pilots and passengers. I felt rushed. I did my final walk around and pulled the chocks from the nose wheel. As I started to walk away; the aircraft started to roll forward slowly. Not wanting to jerk the aircraft to a stop by using the chocks (since the passengers were already on board); I communicated to the first officer to use the brakes. He was briefing the passengers at that time. He did so and stopped the aircraft. I ought to have made sure that the first officer was in his seat in the cockpit before pulling the chocks as per SOP. I did not do so in my rush. In the future; I intend to slow down and to comply with sops even if need to delay the flight.
