Got a better paperwork system started. Washed more dishes. Put extra water in the fridge to cool for this record-breaking heat today.

What does PUPA stand for again? I remember hearing it, but not what it means! I still need to refamiliarize myself with the forums, but this thread sounds appealing and anti-overwhelming. My next task is to take care of my exercising (warm up and Pilates)! I already chose a Pilates video for today. PUPA - Pick Up and Put Away

Small bits of paper filed or torn up and thrown away.
Package ready to take to post office.
Made three days worth of tea this morning, so I won't have to heat the tea kettle every morning. (The challenge is not to drink all the tea today.)
More dishes done. Almost caught up.

I will put my timer on for 15 minutes and try to get as many of my house work chores done as I can during that time. I need to take down curtains, empty dish washer, start filling it, swish and swipe BR, wipe kitchen counters,, make bed, etc... I have a full list in my blog.

15 minutes went by super fast.... didn't get everything done. I'll pop my timer on again, another 15 minutes. I already took down living room curtains, put one load on washing machine (not the curtains yet), started cleaning water kettle, made my bed... put few items away here and there. I am now working in the kitchen, then will go to the bathroom (where I already put toilet bowl cleaner soaking).

15 minutes done. I got a bit sidetracked, as I noticed my phone timer has this lovely ticking sound, but it stops as the screen goes to sleep, and I tried to find a setting where I could change that - I love ticking sounds to help me focus. Alas, couldn't find a solution.
Well, I still have things to do, so another 15 minutes it is. Then, after that, it's breakfast time.
I have been cleaning my kitchen, water kettle is done, dish washer is done, sink is washed, counters are half way done, decorative item dusting/cleaning is half way done. Switched laundry loads, still need to hang the first load to dry.

15+ more minutes done. This took much longer than anticipated, but I have been doing quite a bit of deep cleaning and extra tasks, so it's not surprising. But, kitchen is now done! All counters are done, parts of the back splash are cleaned, some items are clearned off the counter as I prepare for my move, cutting boards are deep cleaned, appliances are wiped, more hand washing is done (all of it!), dusted/cleaned the rest of the decorative items so they are ready to be packed away. After my breakfast I will put the dish washer on. Second load of laundry should be washed soon, and I will hang everything to air dry, plus toss my living room curtains in the washing machine. Also, after breakfast, I will do a through swish and swipe in the bathroom, will aim to 5 minutes max. Them my house work will be pretty much done, I think, will have to double check my list.

OnTheMend You are amazing. I like some ticking sounds, too. This morning: More dishes done Soap is made and am waiting for it to set up enough to pour into the molds. Put some soapmaking supplies in a better place. Spot-cleaned some in the kitchen.

Great to hear I am not alone with my ticking sound preferences! I have a nice selection on ticking sounds and other monotonous sounds saved from YouTube, I often use them as a background sound when I work. Too bad I can't make the timer on my phone to tick when the screen is turbed off. Soap making sounds like fun! I did all my house work for today, yay! Next thing, after my break, is to continue forwarding my moving project. It's rainy day today, love the sound of rain drops against the window!

Checked soap again. Quick clean of an air purifier, and changed the filters. Put a dated label on it, so I know when to do all that again.
Made iced tea. :)
