Walk through your home. Gather the prep you have in mind.

Begin at the approach to your home, then move inside.

1. Walk the entry, porch, and approach; note cleaning or repair work you are considering.
2. Look around the exterior and write down any other prep you want to remember.

Move through each shared room at your own pace.

1. Note the cleaning, repair, or organizing work you are considering in each space.
2. Write down any doors, windows, floors, or fixtures you want to include in your notes.

Capture the tasks you have in mind without deciding everything today.

1. List kitchen cleaning or repair needs and the area they relate to.
2. List bathroom cleaning or repair needs and any details you want to revisit.

Finish the walk-through in the remaining rooms and storage areas.

1. Walk bedrooms and closets; note cleaning, repairs, or other prep you are considering.
2. Check laundry, garage, and storage areas for tasks you want to add to your plan.

Use your own priorities and timing; leave details open if you are unsure.

1. Separate your notes into cleaning, repairs, and other prep work.
2. Add a date or time window that works for you, if you have one in mind.
