… the todo list.

Our task owners, Jo and Calum, were waiting for us at the Community Kitchen ready to give us our jobs for the evening to help keep the kitchen looking clean and tidy for their summer classes. As was the case during my previous visits, a colorful to-do list adorned the wall, eagerly waiting for our attention. However, since we were only a team of four, Jo and Calum prioritized our tasks in case we couldn’t complete them all.

2nd tasker Michael (nice to meet you), Philippa and I took charge of washing and squeegeeing the outside windows, window sills, and the kitchen entrance, while Angela fearlessly battled with the ovens, leaving them sparkling. Next on the list was cleaning the fridges, cupboard doors, and their handles. Finally, with about five minutes remaining, we all focused on the last task - cleaning underneath the countertops.

The to-do list was conquered.

Everything was checked off. ✅

There’s a satisfying feeling that comes with completing a physical to-do list!
