  1. Set a timer. 20 minutes! 3:30p.
  2. Check paperwork. Bills? Notices? Unopened mail? Sort, pay, and share.
    Huge stack!

    Paid gas bill: $68.19
    Paid electric bill: $121.43
  3. Check email inbox for ’starred’ emails of due bills. Pay and un’star’. Document.
    Not much, just statement notices.
  4. Go through receipts. Add shared expenses to daytum account.
    Squared!

  5. Check balances at Chase twice, Citi, Discover, student loans. Make appropriate payments, screen shot often.
    $50 to Discover
    $500 to Citi
    $13.14 to Chase Business
  6. Check calendar for upcoming due dates or milestones.
    • travel funding. Can I get funding to be a guest critic at UIUC?
    • powerbook logic board (will I ever deal with this? no.)
    • dentist appt
    • taxes. ughhhhh.
    • REDUCE JOINT CHASE CREDIT LINE
    • BLUEHOST PAPERWORK
    • get paypal account for new chase account (thanks Kel!)
    • activate debit card
    • have rent money in joint account by the 15th
  7. With any remaining time, log into Wesabe and/or Mint and tag expenses, work on specific projects, etc. Sometimes I feel like I need to log in to make sure all of my banking info hasn’t mysteriously become public… Still not going to happen today.

Actual time to write this post: 28 minutes. Only a little over!

Mood: relieved! Kel and I are almost totally square and can start using our joint debit card now! WOOT.
