tesla A work in progress:
1. Keep living stuff alive. Myself, animals that I intentionally keep, indoor and outdoor plants, etc.. Procure supplies as needed. Accidental animals are required to fend for themselves.
2. Ensure that adequate amounts of clothing are laundered. Work clothes must be cleaned and pressed. Again with the supplies - in fact, let's just take that for granted from now on.
3. Ensure that *I* am freshly laundered.
4. Keep dead stuff dead. No science experiments in the refrigerator.
5. Replace lightbulbs. Shockingly, this could almost be a full-time occupation in my house.
6. Make improvements that are likely to stay improved for a good long while (e.g. strip the woodwork, rehang the window sashes).
7. Put things that have homes back where they belong.
8. Remove gunk from places where gunk accumulates (e.g. every conceivable surface in the bathroom and kitchen, everything with an electrical charge (stereos and computers), the top of anything, doorknobs, light switches, baseboards).
9. Find homes for newly acquired things.
10. Discard/give away/eat/bend, fold, spindle and/or mutilate that scourge which is know (in my home) as STUFF. STUFF = objects which are neither dedicated to a practical use nor hung a wall/tucked into a nook/otherwise out of the path of life. I consider tchotchkes in my home a personal affront. They must die. BTW, if anyone has seen my Yin, would you mind sending it home? kthxbye.
I generally keep current to about seven-and-a-half. Because of this, seven and eight sometimes trade places.
What does yours look like?

I'm learning to embrace clutter. Clutter is charming (as long as I've weeded out actual trash); it's a sign of an active, interesting life. Pristine = shallow. :)
