The big one this month is cleaning. My landlord has posted an ad already and I need to get this place into viewing shape. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I've let some stuff slide lately. Too much. So, dividing the tasks into Before Viewings (this sunday) and Before Moving (Sept 1st). I'm also indicating the effort required in tasks which mostly also corelates to my aversion to doing them. Strategy: Wednesday and Saturday this week - do 1 exetnded time, 1 medium time, and 1 quick task. The smaller things will slide if the bigger things are done. Other days - do at least one quick task and a medium one if I can manage it. Before viewings: wash bathroom walls - extended time - the big one. I do not want to do this. It squicks me more than it really should. So I will do it first. wash hallway walls - medium bathroom sink - quick Clean up calcium buildup on kitchen sink tap and shower head - quick, but needs to be done again Stairway - medium - use magic eraser on some spots near the bottom Windows - extended time floors - quick kitty litter area - medium Throw out some accumulated small boxes - quick - keep any useful ones for packing dust back of stove - quick?? Before moving: Also check apartment cleaning checklist (the landlords are very thorough). If possible, have complete before parents visit mid-august. That said, it really isn't a problem if my place is not immaculate when they visit. Mom and Dad really do just want to see me and will not care if the place is messy and half packed. It may even make Mom fret less about the state of their place when I visit. NO MAJOR CLEANING while they are here! replace bedroom blind - need to find one :-/ storage cupboard - medium kitchen sink cupboard - get rid of old/unused cleaning chemicals - extended time get rid of old AC and a few bigger things - have small trucking company take to dump - quick bedroom walls - quick living room walls - quick dust back of fridge - quick? Clean underneath fridge and stove - medium Clean behind/under bookshelves - as I pack the books - medium clean fridge - quick clean oven and stove - medium change out a few dead spotlight bulbs in the kitchen (do not need all of them so I haven't gotten to it) - quick baseboards - quick Other things to be done pre-move: Sign new lease and confirm carpets will be removed Book the moving company to help Pick up cedar balls for my trunk Get rid off moth balls in trunk New drying rack for clothes new dish rack New litter boxes - it's been a while since I replaced them While shopping, buy new kettlebell!! *Not actually this bad. Exercise: Run - once/week Strength train - body weight or kettlebell, not fussed - twice/week Try to do all upcoming boss battle missions on RH - excepting any diet ones I deem excessive Game planning: Get the pre-built module sorted Adapt the other one Get guys to make characters Plot out first two sessions/chapters
