Bunk LedgerHome-time cab reset (2026)
Home time disappears into errands. The cab still needs an hour or it leaves with last trip's trash. This checklist stays in your browser if you tick the boxes.
An hour, not a renovation
Do the smelly jobs first. Trash and food waste leave before you sit down. If you have a fridge, open it. Anything you would not eat tomorrow goes. A wipe of the shelf matters more than a new gadget. The fridge guide is for buying one, not for this hour.
Laundry goes to a machine, not back into the shower bag damp. The shower note covers the bag. Sheets and the bunk cover come off if they need it. A mattress that is still damp does not get a fresh sheet and a closed curtain. Dry it.
Then the folder. Permits, registration, and whatever else your carrier told you to carry go back to the same pocket. A pile on the kitchen table is how the next pretrip starts with a search.
On a phone, this table moves sideways. The first column stays put.
| First | Then | Last |
|---|---|---|
| Trash and spoiled food | Laundry and the bunk | The folder and a look at the glass |
Conclusion
If you only have twenty minutes, do the trash, the fridge, and the folder. The rest can be the next home time. The folder cannot.

How often is this required?
