MONDAY CLEANING: DINING TABLE (STILL UNPACKING)

Weekly cleaning series.


Monday cleanings are back and I'm already tired. I got out of bed really late today and still wanted to check on "my guys" (aka Tomodachi Life). That's been my routine now: Get out of bed, wash face, make breakfast, and play Tomodachi Life until there are no more notifications from my Miis. Then I continue on with my day.


Weekly clean

I finally managed to clean my suitcase and place it under my bed. It only took 3 days.

However, the dining table is still cluttered with the remnants of my travels. So today, I will put the items back in their proper places and reset the table with my summer decorations. (I know I just redecorated, but I was late with the spring decor). We should also remove the cat fur from the seat cushions and clean the surrounding area in general.

Tasks before cleaning
  1. Write down to-dos for the day
  2. Resize photos
  3. Tidy up desk
  4. Change out of pjs

12:46–12:59

We need to eat lunch soon so I only cleaned the left side of the table. I put all my hair accessories and jewelry back in their rightful places. This took almost 10 minutes! This is why a 5-minute reset clean is impossible for me. How fast are people moving? Do they have super speed or am I just super slow?

Tasks before cleaning
  1. Lunch
  2. Laundry
  3. Body-doubling call with Usagi

15:01-15:20

Put away all of my things and airing out my pants before storing them. It's so fucking hot in here! We only have a fan in the living room and I'm in the office right now.

Tasks before cleaning
  1. Add photos to post
  2. Pay bills

??–17:04

I forgot to note when I started, but given my track record, this probably took 10 minutes. Next phase is decorating, which is the fun part!

Tasks before cleaning
  1. Finish blog post
  2. Transfer money
  3. Hang up laundry

19:03-19:10 DONE!

I'm done! Did a lot of admin stuff in between and made my schedule for the week. It also helped that my friend needed a body double so I had a silent video call with her (and then we caught up a bit afterwards). I managed to finish a travelog too, which I've queued up for tomorrow so I can take my time writing about Day 4.

Time to boil dumplings for dinner and watch Invincible or something.
