a color coded list for the end game

We’re now twenty days out from closing on the new house. Twenty-two days until we lock the door to this house behind us for the last time.
I created a color coded list broken down by week to ensure we’re ready to roll when the time comes.
.blue for me
.red for YBW
.purple for both

This week is already proving to be successful. I’ve crossed off the majority of my list.
Go me!
Yesterday was particularly productive, not only did I pack six boxes, I packaged and shipped Thing 2’s birthday box. Played Chinese checkers with Meredith and Beau for three hours, video chatted with Baby K, and made a quick Target run.

I have some larger items that won’t fit into any of the boxes I have, so I’ll make another quick Target run this morning for some bigger bins.

I’ve got the new car insurance sorted, but having trouble finding appropriate home owners insurance. After working on insurance for two days straight, I’m ready to get that checked off my list too.

This is the end game, y’all.
I’m ready!

  1. This is why I love you

  2. Brilliant. It reminds me of when I color-coded our boxes so the family helping us would put them in the right rooms! -then, had everyone ignore the directions and ask me where each thing went. 😀

    • I color coded my boxes too! Each floor of the house has a color. Each bedroom has a number. I printed floor plans and put the corresponding colored stickers on the pages. I’m putting one on each level of the house AND giving a copy to the movers. I suspect I will spend the day explaining my system, but that’s OK too.

  3. Yay!! You are in the end game!! Go lists!!
