7. Put the things in your place of residence in alphabetical order

There’s no real point to this other than just taking up some time. You’re not going to learn anything. You’re not going to make your house any cleaner, probably the opposite in fact. It’s just a time waster that gets you some steps at the same time.

I’d start with some smaller things before you get to the bigger ones, just to see if this activity will hold your attention. If you decide to move the couch first (it starts with ‘c,’ by the way), you might overcommit. You could also injure yourself if you don’t have help. We’re not trying to make your summer worse. We’re just trying to make it go away.

So again, start small. Maybe clear out a junk drawer and see what letter things start with, and then put the things on the floor. If you have pets or small children, make sure you do this in a room with a door. You’re doing important work here, and you don’t want to suddenly find a stapler ahead of a pencil because some reckless being decided to get their hands up in your business.

With one drawer down, tackle another. Add it to the ordered stuff on the floor. Make sure to take breaks and hydrate. Depending on how many multiple-names stuff in your house has, this could be a mentally taxing thing to do.

After drawers, go to cabinets. After cabinets, closets. Before you know it, it’s October. Don’t bother putting the stuff back.
